I think we are maybe talking about different things. Liberals and conservatives have wide platforms that cover hundreds if not thousands of topics, the thousands and thousands of policy decisions needed to govern a full society. It's not just 3 or 4 things that get lots of attention at any given time, because we can shape any narrative we want without looking at the full picture.
I can say Bernie supports tariffs so he is a conservative and Trump is giving student loan relief so he is liberal. Both are true and obviously those ideologies are not theirs, but these anomalies exist in an ocean of policy decisions they adhere to, the ocean which defines their actual bias. Look at the forest of policy decisions here, not the individual trees.
