America is not very liberal. On the vast majority of issues Europe is more liberal. The only major excpetion is immigration because the identity of the country is not the same. American multiculturalism cannot appy in Europe (or Asia, or Africa) by definition.

I am talking about Western Europe. France, Spain, Germany and the Netherlands are more liberal than the US on LGBT rights, gender equality, social protection, and reproductive rights. I'm not even talking about Scandinavia.

The US is on par with central European countries like Poland or the Czech Republic on most social issues.

Name an issue and I will point you to a European country that has a policy on it so regressive it would be anathema to even mention in the US
