    Possibly yeah. I mean a lot of the Dems currently are rather moderate, which really shows the extremes the Republican party as a whole has slipped to on the scale.

    I’m not entirely sure how this would work with our two party system though. Unless the Republican party collapses and reforms then liberal viewpoints would be left without representatives.

      There’s a bit of the notion of what’s progressive and conservative changing with times. You know the adage: old dogs, new tricks.

      We millennials will almost certainly have more modern beliefs the generation before us and before that. But I doubt any old generation will match any new generation.

      Still I have hope with respect to the rapid loss of interest in establishment religion.
