>As a liberal my views haven't changed much over the past decade but the ground has definitely fallen away from me.

Well yes, because liberalism is about "progress" while conservatism is about "traditional values". Liberalism is constantly evolving while conservatism is not. It is more extreme to fight for trans rights than it is to fight for gay rights than it is to fight for women's rights. If you magically transported a liberal from a decade ago to today, they will inherently be more conservative. Obama didn't support gay marriage until 2012. Very few liberal politicians today would be against gay marriage. Your views not changing means your views are becoming more conservative because they are falling behind the "progress" that liberals are always pushing towards.

And also it is worth noting that according to Pew Congressional "Republicans have moved further to the right than Democrats have to the left"[1]

You're going to be very confused when liberals become anti-trans, and pretend like trans rights were actually only being pushed by a minority of liberal extremists, e.g. defund and police abolition, M4A etc.. With that you will have joined the extreme left, which due to the horseshoe principle (all anti-establishment narratives are equally unhinged), will put you on the extreme right, all without ever having changed your opinion.

Or you'll change your opinion. Either way. Situational morality is actually a sign of progress.

What makes you say this?

Conservatism is also constantly evolving in practice - it just labels whatever its current dogma as "traditional values" regardless of historicity. The political history of abortion in US, and especially and attitudes towards it by the Republicans, is one spectacular example. Welfare is another - e.g. how many people are aware that Nixon of all people tried to pass UBI? (https://thecorrespondent.com/4503/the-bizarre-tale-of-presid...)

Holding static views is a sign of stagnation right? has nothing in the world changed over the past decade? nothing to re-evaluate anything?

Foundational principles that have been debated and continually established since civilization began should stay mostly static. Policies may change, but not the principles.

The comment you replied is saying that Leftists are not represented by unhinged people on twitter. Your response is a simpsons quote. I rest my case.
