Liberal glasses are the dark and thick-rimmed glasses, typically square in shape, favored by liberals. They are worn in an attempt to appear intellectually superior. Also called "hipster glasses." It is a safe bet that when somebody wears them, they ascribe to a left-leaning ideology. The majority of people who wear liberal glasses are also white.
Jay Carney, Tina Fey, and Janeane Garofalo wear stereotypical liberal glasses.

"Will" wore liberal glasses to signify both his intellectual superiority and his submission to his feminist wife. As long as he wore the magical liberal glasses, he was free to talk down to everybody until his wife called. Then he would apologize for every trivial hardship she encountered, like having to pump her own gas or call somebody to confirm an appointment.
