Liberalism and Conservatism are both authoritarian doctrines, just in different topics: social issues (liberalism), economic issues (conservatives). Lately liberalism has taken more extreme and authoritarian views (compelled speech, forced equality of outcomes, use of violence against opposition). If this article is correct, I think we will see a shift of both parties to a more libertarian public face, even though the people in power will still want to retain their power (whether moral or economical) through authoritarian policies. I think the article conflates liberal values with libertarian values, which is a common mistake to make if you don't know the subject and the history of the name (liberal vs classic liberal vs libertarian).
