Clear strawman: Which "liberals" want the Scandinavian model besides those who live in ethnically homogeneous areas of the US? Nobody believed that Scandinavian Shangri-la stuff, you just need listen to how they describe it.
I mean, there was a time when people from the place we call Scandinavia got into boats and did a fair bit of emigrating, to the great consternation of native populations at the time. What goes around comes around, I guess.
Also, seems to me the writer is conflating a certain political agenda in this piece, somewhat distastefully. These people never have enough buckets to sort humanity, so they just lump stuff together. "Liberalism" is a thing defined by words, and the more words used, the less consensus is possible.
