    it depends on what you classify as socially progressive, but generally most liberals are going to be onboard with socially progressive ideas. Especially if well thought out and put together. They just don’t publicly champion them because nobody really cares and it’s not as popular, pushing support is more popular than just yelling about supporting it at the end of the day.

    It’s really hard to make an argument for removing the rights of people under liberalism. Unless it’s something like fascism, where you’re inherently removing rights, and therefore violating the principles of liberalism.

        Liberals are capitalists and would be on board with socially progressive ideas as long as it doesn’t hinder their capacity to make business.

        debatable, i highly doubt you would ever find a liberal that wants to rollback workers rights so that we can better exploit workers. Liberals tend to be capitalist because capitalism espouses ideas of liberalism. Monopolies and oligarchies are not liberal by nature, so there is some innate level of restriction on this problem.
