Nonsense since the early liberals were humanists, not solipsistic narcissists who were psychologically incapable of caring about anyone else's welfare. The point of liberal institutions was to allow everyone the freedom to pursue their idea of happiness, not impose a tribal, Christian nationalist, alt-right conception of the good life on everyone, or break all the government's regulatory institutions to pretend that capitalism alone solves everyone's problems. The classic liberals didn't benefit from hindsight regarding capitalism's deficiencies. We have no such excuse, contrary to Trump's anarcho-capitalists.
