The end of the post-1989 era doesn't mean the end of liberalism. There still exists within the Trump coalition, individuals who uphold liberal values, viewing themselves as defenders of free speech against leftist threats.
The transition from one era to another could see a systematic establishment of illiberal democracy. However, the ongoing self-identification of many in the Trump coalition as proponents of liberal values complicates this narrative.
Aris Roussinos argues that the post-1989 liberal order was more utopian and imperialistic than its post-World War II counterpart, suggesting that the latter was more pragmatic and sustainable.
Speculating about the shift in historical eras, it’s important to note that while authoritarianism may rise, many still cling to the tenets of liberalism despite the changing political landscape.
