What was considered "liberal" five or six decades ago is now center right or even "conservative" in today's political climate. By that same movement, yesterday's conservatives are today's radical right, the liberals became centrists, the progressives are the liberals, and the radical left are the new progressives.

JFK was considered a liberal in his day, but he would be center right or maybe ever considered a conservative by today's standards.

This is why today, the "conservatives" seem to be more anti-establishment" than the "liberals"... when in reality, the anti- establishment right are really more like yesterday's liberals.

I really wish people would quit **** with the goal post myself.
your first sentence destroys the rest of your post because evolving doesn't duplicate total sum achieved thus far as a species. Sure it works the same way but people aren't the same ancestors twice inception to extinction same as never the same form twice since arriving as a fertilized cell.

You really need to find another analogy because the one you used is completely outdated.
