I watched a video a while ago (unfortunately can’t find it now) about how modern politics has shifted over the last few decades, along with the Overton window.
The woman in the video was a political scientist / sociologist.
It was really eye opening the way she described their tendencies. Typically, “conservatives” strive to maintain the status quo, and are characterized as being more resistant to progressive policies that are intended to change the current system. That actually describes today’s Liberals more accurately than today’s conservatives…while today’s conservatives have just gone so far to the right, that they can only be described as right-wing extremists.
