The modern liberal ideology is based on completely ignoring facts and instead focusing on feels, there's nothing rational about it. I'd also argue the fact that liberals are "educated". The number of STEM graduates per year has basically stayed flat, liberal arts degrees account for almost all the new graduate gains over the last 30 years. The result is the massive elitism seen in liberals despite not really knowing anything of value. Hence the enlightened graduates with 50k+ in debt working minimum wage jobs. But at least they can stroke their ego about being superior to the plumber or electrician making 6 figures with no debt.

>An example is that they'd rather segregate the poor out than actually work towards building an educated society and uplift the unfortunate

SF spent 20 million last year on arresting homeless people and getting them out of the city. It's basically illegal to be homeless in SF, yet they are seen as the paragon of liberal values. Do as I say, not as I do.

SF is largely not seen as a paragon of liberal values from my perspective. Quite the opposite, it's seen as what happens when you let rich people run amok.
