I don't mean to be 'throwing shade'. I simply believe that what "we" (all people) generally agree is "liberal" vs "conservative" is a moving target, kind of like you say with a pendulum. To relate it to your example, I am simply stating I feel the pendulum is currently biased to liberal. Not making any statement if that is good or bad, just that the current popular trend (by people, not land mass) seems to be liberal-leaning. If I were to lend my opinion, I would wager and argue that it's more liberal than we're lead to believe. Since the current conservative strategy is to "stop the opponent from voting", that seems to indicate that people paid very large amounts of money to analyze this stuff determined that in order to win, laws and challenges need to be in place to prevent the other side from showing up to cast a vote.
