This is incorrect. It may have widened in both directions, but it absolutely did not shift to the right.
Transgender support from mainstream corporations (Target, Budweiser, etc) would have been completely unthinkable 10 years ago.
That’s just one example of many. What has happened is that the Overton window is broken because people don’t even engage with “the other side” anymore. So we just end up with both sides discussing things with impunity that were previously off-topic and still are for the other side.
