That should be the point, but in modern politics (especially in the US, but also in much of the western world from what I can tell), the people calling themselves conservatives have tipped over into reactionary/fascist territory, and the liberals have rushed into the void they left and taken over the "No change/slow change" position.

It's genius because now everyone is right wing

Oh no. Do liberals are just gone now? Or does America now just consist of right-wingers, slow change people and left-extremists (ay that's me)?

Yeah, the forces actually fighting for positive change are usually labeled as progressives or leftists now, and we have little representation in many world governments at the moment (certainly very little in the US).
