| Jan 12, 2017 at 20:18 | comment | added | J Doe | @KDog No, positions are things like "I support this trade agreement" and "I do not support prosecuting torture". Ideological shifts are just what I said, "becoming more pro-corporate and pro-war", they are the underlying trends behind the positions. | |
| Jan 12, 2017 at 19:57 | comment | added | hownowbrowncow | @KDog You're thinking too small. Look at the enforced ideology in central europe, asia, etc. after WWII. | |
| Jan 12, 2017 at 17:43 | comment | added | user9790 | @hownowbrowncow, in the US only, the GOP did not shift ideologically, or rather it was a pivot to basic tenets, of neo-liberalism. While on the Left, the rise of the New Left (where Obama got his New Party cred) as a clear departure. Not to say that in the 30s and 40s the GOP didn't have elements of isolationism, because they did | |
| Jan 12, 2017 at 17:38 | comment | added | user9790 | @JDoe, those are positions, not underlying ideological shifts. | |
| Jan 12, 2017 at 17:32 | comment | added | J Doe | I don't think it's possible to answer that question here until well after the fact, but I do not think any of the things mentioned in the question indicate a realignment. Republicans don't seem to have changed very much, but Democrats have become more pro-corporate and pro-war, having supported them for 8 years under Obama while he continued and extended Bush's policies. | |
| Jan 12, 2017 at 17:30 | comment | added | hownowbrowncow | @KDog on one side only? Liberalist Internationalist Capitalism is the modus operandi of Modern Western Europe. The rise of "right-wing" "reactionary" political parties is antithetical to this. | |

| Jan 12, 2017 at 17:15 | comment | added | SJuan76 | Issues: a)"Today's political climate" is always "unstable": We simply are no longer worried by how unstable it was in the 80s or the 90s. b)Magnification effect: "Traditional parties" are still in power almost everywhere. c) Short time: You are comparing a supposed realignment that took more than twenty years (until LBJ Civil Rights Act? or even more?) with a supposed trend that is 4 or 5 years old. The human mind is very good at finding patterns, but sometimes it leads to finding patterns even if there is none. I do not think the question is answerable right now. | |
| Jan 12, 2017 at 16:36 | comment | added | holaymolay | ok @KDog, I rephrased the question as you suggested. Hopefully that's better. | |

| Jan 12, 2017 at 16:34 | comment | added | user9790 | I would point you to: powerlineblog.com/archives/2013/04/… and weeklystandard.com/the-stupid-party/article/15325 to give you some ideas of ideology of the 50-60s | |
| Jan 12, 2017 at 16:31 | comment | added | user9790 | The moderators are going to have problems with it based upon the multiple question thing; I would edit it down to what's going on today then. | |

added question mark to title

| Jan 12, 2017 at 16:29 | comment | added | holaymolay | Admittedly, my question is more trying to get at whether it's happening today, but I thought that the preceding points would provide context to the question -- and subsequent answers. | |
| Jan 12, 2017 at 16:23 | comment | added | user9790 | I would break this up into three questions:1) the first phenomena is well documented, as people age they become more conservative. That's been true for awhile. 2) Next I would talk about the Post WW2 shift (it actually dates to pre-Eisenhower) and was geographical, but ideological really on one side only. 3) Current situation. | |
