I voted for further right, but thinking about it, I’d actually say it’s shifted left. At the very least socially and culturally it has. Consider the difference in the degree of LGBT acceptance between now and 2006.

For those who don’t know: the Overton Window is the range of acceptable political discourse in a given society Think how free healthcare is contentious but discussable but nationalizing corporations is seen as untouchable

I think the window has shifted further left but the current average/median is further right
