Probably it was realizing democracy and capitalism are incompatible. The essential needs of a majority (food, healthcare, shelter) being ignored by political representatives that were bought off by an organized minority of capital holders was where I broke from liberalism. From then on I wanted democracy to being in the workplace to prevent the accumulation of power in the hands of the few. It's a bit of a generalization but, it was a point where I really departed from liberal political thought.
The Supreme Court ruling in favor of Citizens United was a bit of a shock. "Wait... they're just allowed to do that? And it's all completely legal now?"
