Yeah no one has read the liberal thinkers that inform liberalism, they just get it through osmosis in the community. Even if you do poli sci in University, unless you study American Political Development, you get a dog shit history of liberalism too. Modern liberalism as an ideology is entirely an invention of the 30s to 50s to give a set of ideas that supported capitalism, and it threw out 100 years of established republican social analysis to do so because if you stick with it, you become socialist.
