Nah, not of liberalism. If anything it is a rejection of idpol, which leans authoritarian. There were bad ideas that weren't allowed to be criticized. I still remember the audience of the Daily Show getting signaled to be "outraged" at ideas like "I don't see color" several years ago around Trumps first term. You might find that naïve or not constructive in certain situations, but their strategy about it was just moronic. And for some it was enough to say, that these bad ideas need to die first before they can vote for liberals again. They had similar bad ideas around the topic of free speech as well. Their loudest voices were unpopular sound bites around how we need more social media authorities and surveillance. All in all their ideas were just bad but reflected the party line. And their popular base was convinced by them. These are just small puzzles that were so pronounced, that they made Trump almost a reasonable choice.
