Most neoliberals in the USA are also social conservatives who oppose abortion. That's the way the Republican alliance has formed, and is composed mainly of these two groups: economic liberals (let the rich and business do whatever they want and not pay taxes and hope benefits will trickle down) and prejudice (religious right/opposition to abortion, gays, non-christian religions, etc., and racism of varying degrees against immigrants, non-whites, women, etc.). And the two groups mostly overlap today in Trump's Party. Added to this is junking standards of truth and reality and substituting alternative facts and conspiracy theory for them instead.
