You're confusing the progressive/socially liberal<->socially conservative CULTURAL axis with the liberal<->socialist ECOMINIC axis

Republicans are socially conservative but economically liberal. The founding fathers were liberals. Reagan Bush Clinton Bush Obama and Trump are all liberals.

Maybe you're technically correct, but "liberal" in reference to anything US politics related has a different connotation. Trying to use it to reference the original ideals of liberalism in casual conversation about US politics will just be confusing. It won't make you look smart, just out-of-touch.
