Liberal political philosophy, at least in the Rawlsian tradition, assumes people with a broadly liberal character - people who are willing to live among others with varying conceptions of the good and with leaders responsive to those constituents and engaged in public reasoning.
Is that what the US and increasingly Europe looks like to you?
Even assuming liberalism is true, what we'd need now is a theory about why people should be liberals. Liberal theory largely assumes people *are* liberal minded, and explains how to achieve a just society assuming that. (This is why Rawls' view narrowed in scope over the course of his life - he came to accept that his view would only work in places where people were already liberal-minded)
