That's been the trajectory of US conservatism for 40 years. Reagan was considered a right wing extremist in 1980, but most of his policies would be called 'far left' by today's Republican Party. Gingrich was even worse, W/Cheney worse yet, and now Trump even worse than that. This is deliberate, and until the Democratic Party finds its spine and starts fighting for progressive New Deal values and policies again, the march to the reich wing will just continue.

[@kempolar9768]

Exactly, gender roles were useful back in the less civilized days, but we really don't need them for anything anymore. People who often use tradition as a reason to keep things the same never realise why things are a tradition. At some point in the past something worked, so people did that more often. Then over time the circumstances often change and so that tradition is now kinda worthless. Human blood sacrifices were a tradition for a long time. So was slavery. So was organised religion....oh wait we still have that nevermind.
