Accelerated greatly since 2008? How so? My own feeling is that it hasn't gone far enough because milquetoast republicans like Mitch and Boehner and McCarthy have been too weak to push things. They've just gotten run all over by Schumer and Reid and Pelosi.

Seriously, I think if you go back and compare, you will find fewer major departures from the platform of 1980, or 1960, on the republican side than on the democrat side. Just gay rights and abortion should pretty much get you there.
