A liberal is someone who supports - liberty, individual rights, market economy, utilitarianism, limited government, individualism and natural law.
Liberalism has two/three main variants - Classical Liberalism, Social Liberalism, Ordoliberalism (Also National Liberalism, Economic Liberalism and Cultural Liberalism - Not proper ideologies that are describing certain liberal view on an issue)
However, thanks to political illiteracy, Liberalism is now being used synonymously with Socialism, Communism, Progressivism etc. Core value of Liberalism is individual liberty, Liberals dont infringe on rights of the individual.
Also a bummer, Democrats arent Liberals.
