The weird thing is, without judging present day politics, is that historically something much like the opposite has been happening since the french revolution, since liberalism always selects new goals and the next generation of conservatives always try to (mostly unsuccesfully) preserve the state liberals already achived by the time these conservatives were born.
Liberalism is the idea of giving people rights to assure their well-being. Liberalism doesn’t change, however it always finds new goals and with that new rights to secure for people. Once it secures a certain right it can be seen as integral to the ideology in the future and some of these rights are indeed the ones that make capitalism possible.
Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law.
By “private property,” what is meant is “the means of production.” Liberalism is the philosophy of the bourgeoisie, otherwise known as the capitalist class.
The French & American Revolutions were Bourgeois Revolutions. The US Founding Fathers, who were wealthy land owners and chattel slave owners, intentionally constructed a Bourgeois Democracy, which was never meant to represent the working class, and it never has, despite later allowing non-landowners, women, and non-whites (those not re-disenfranchised by the carceral system, anyway) to vote.

Liberalism is pro-Capitalism. Leftism changes, not liberalism. Democrats are liberals, not leftists.

Liberalism is an ideology primarily concerned with Private Property Rights, ie Capitalism. Always has, always will.
