The old left right scale doesn’t really describe modern politics very well, but I don’t think its hard to argue against the Democrats under Bill Clinton in the 1990s being much closer to the Republicans 20 years later than the current Democrats (i.e. the Overton window shifting far to the left). The same phenomenon can be observed in many Western countries, very recent reactionary shifts to the right notwithstanding.
