I don’t believe you understand Liberalism. “Scratch a Liberal and a Fascist bleeds”, if you want to see it in action watch how quickly they switch the topic to Trump whenever someone critiques Genocide Joe.
Are you referring to the American Democratic Party and it’s supporters or just left leaning liberal ideology? It seems like you’re confusing them to me.
As much as liberals suck, they’re not fascists. They will do fascist things in a similar way to Soviet states, playing to masculinity, bigotry, nationalism, and violent repression. They often slide into fascism and ally with fascists.
However, most of them do believe their own bullshit. Most people do. They think their fascist actions are justifiable in service of democracy. They think capitalism is compatible with democracy, and that it’s even necessary for democracy.
They’re willing to believe that because their jobs depend on supporting the status quo. They don’t think about it consciously, as the unconscious mind can blind us to inconvenient truths. They don’t perceive the contradictions.

Heads up, neoliberal (which is what is meant in the phrase scratch a liberal and a facist bleeds) is not the same as a liberal.
Usually just saying Liberal means Neoliberal - but for situations like this the difference helps
Even Liberalism is inherently flawed, it’s still a center right ideology
do you really think about the world on such a singular spectrum
Don’t democrats constantly complain about the president unlike republicans that complain about the president when it isn’t their side that won?
And yet we’re seeing tons of people blindly support him
