Maybe, maybe not.

I think you are describing the Overton Window, though, and that part is correct. Traditional conservative values are indeed labelled by Progressives as "hard right wing" and supported by many in the MSM, and others.

The kicker is that it's not really a "Left-Right" issue at all. It's a contest between freedom/personal responsibility and Statists. Statists have been winning. But until the Fat Lady sings, we really don't know how this contest is going to pan out.
