Old news to many, but here's an unusually clear-cut ex. of the orig.
tendentious use of "liberal" to mean "authoritarian; state-socialist":

2011 _Edward H. Hamilton Bookseller Co. Bargain Books_  (Oct. 28)
[catalogue] 8: The authors identify and discuss more than twenty
tactics taken [sic] by the Obama administration to restructure the
country and ensure perpetual liberal rule...such as changing voting
laws, politicizing the census, destroying talk radio, and seeking to
make millions of illegal aliens into voting citizens.
