The Overton Window has definitely been pushed Left over the past 20ish years. I remember lefties like @aubie used to laugh at that statement, but it is so true. Take a look at this list and tell me which one is not true, and this is just a list of social issues, not even mentioning the spending habits of both D's and R's today. No matter where YOU stand on any of these issues, society has definitely moved Left.
- Society stance on weed - moved much to the left, with numerous R's supporting legalization nowadays.
- Gay marriage - yep, moved to the left
- Trans "rights" - teachers feel comfortable enough to shout from the rooftops that they want to groom kids, they are pushing hormone blockers and masectomies on KIDS without parental consent.
- Abortion - what happened to Safe/Legal/Rare?
- "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" - this is a classical liberal idea that is now considered alt-right.
There's more, but can anyone name a social issue that has moved to the right? We are starting to see the push back, but that's because the damned Overton Window has fallen off the Left side of the wall and we need to let some light in.
