And why is it that the United States would have a different meaning of the word “liberal” compared to the rest of the Anglosphere/The West?

For the same reason that most of the rest of the people in the rest of the English-speaking world say 'biscuit' and they say cookie in the U.S. Believe it or not, things mean different things in different countries. Also, believe it or not, you do not to get to dictate what those things mean.

No, but the ruling class does. And they benefit from the public not perceiving what they have done to our public good.

FDR is dead and Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan killed him in the name of economic growth

Which members of "the ruling class" dictated what it meant, when did they dictate it and how did they achieve it?
