Morphology
shitlib + agenda
The phrase is compositionally built from a vulgar negative element ('shit') attached to a political label ('lib' ≈ liberal) modifying 'agenda', so its intended meaning — a derogatory evaluation of a liberal/progressive agenda — can be derived from the parts. Although the compound 'shitlib' is slang and coarse, the insulting modifier + noun pattern is transparent and cross-linguistically familiar, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would readily infer the sense.
Etymology
Shitlib agenda comes from online political speech. It joins shit, a swear word meaning 'bad', and lib, short for 'liberal', to call a liberal 'agenda' bad, so people use it as a strong insult against progressive ideas.
