Small gov, direct democracy and free speech is what i associate with liberalism. The US rightwingers/conservatives can be at times ultraconservative for eg. regarding abortion but they are way more liberal when it comes to covid restrictions and guns etc. European rightwingers/conservatives are more conservative so they were mostly in support of the authoritarian covid policies. If the opposite of conservatism is radicalism the opposite of liberalism is authoritarianism.
