Proof of how the entire spectrum has shifted to the Left, Trump is a Kennedy Democrat at heart. Always has been, and was quite popular with the Democrats until they went full on Socia-derp-alist

"Kennedy" is kind of a broad brush. Ted was in that family, sure, but so was Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Stuff is moving all around, but I I wouldn't say it's all moving in the same direction.  Sure, we are closer than ever to having universal health Care,and  gay marriage is recognized in all 50 states, but we're also closer than ever to abortion being banned in many states, and it seems like every other year another state becomes right-to-work.

if you talk to Democrats they will complain that it feels like everything's moving to the right.

And you say it's all moving to the left.

You're both sort of right.

What's actually happening is that the Republican Party is tending to choose candidates that don't even pretend to care what the Democratic party thinks. And the Democratic party is tending to choose candidates who return the favor.
Both parties are being less nice to the other party. There isn't really any net move, to the left or to the right, just a muting of the middle.
