Move Left or fall to irrelevance...Is that what they fear? How long before we see more of it?

Fox must move further Left...right?

Is it inevitable, are we all headed Left?

We've been headed left for decades. It is called progress.

Haha...well then, point us to those progressive communities, cities and states that improved as they’ve become more “progressive“?

All changes have winners and losers but certainly Blacks and gays appreciate the move away from segregation. Social security and medicare have been blessings to the old and the sick. Gov't agencies that cleaned up our environment, ensured better workplace safety, tested new drugs, etc., have made our lives better.

Gays were segregated?

Were they allowed in the military? Were they protected where they worked? Were they allowed to gather together, say in a bar, and not get harassed by police?

Name me a group that was protected at work.
I’m a White Jew and I was never protected because the company could always afford better lawyers.
ProgBots aren’t very knowledgeable when it comes to real life.

Protections are not always legal ones:

An old boy network (also known as old boys' network, old boys' club, or old boys' society) can refer to social and business connections among former pupils of male-only elite schools. The term originated from much of the British upper-class having attended certain public schools as boys, thus former pupils are "old boys".

This can apply to the network between the graduates of a single school regardless of their gender. It is also known as an old boys' society and is similar to an alumni association. It can also mean a network of social and business connections among the alumni of various prestigious schools. In popular language, old boy network or old boys' society has come to be used in reference to the preservation of social elites in general; such connections within the British Civil Service formed a primary theme in the British Broadcasting Corporation's satirical comedy series Yes Minister. The phrase "It's not what you know, it's who you know" is associated with this tradition.

Thanks for admitting the legal system doesn’t work.

It is the inevitability of social change.
Over time human society tends to move in a direction we would call "left."
Conservatives are people who oppose, in general, this changing social model but
along with being wrong on every issue they do serve a role in slowing social change
promoting social evolution over social revolution.
This distinguishes Conservative from "conservative" these self IDd "conservatives"
are not Conservative and ill die out in a few short years.

You have Conservatism confused with Greed and Avarice.

Even a lot of Western friendly nations like Japan are not nearly as socially liberal as the West, and for good reason. They understand the values of family and tradition.

"inevitability "

I means over time. The West:
500 years ago people were hanged, burned at the stake, and tortured for the "crime" of not being Christian.
300 years ago an unattended woman was available for sex. whether she wanted or not.
50 years ago people were being tortured and killed because of their race
20 years ago people were being tortured and killed for being gay.

And by 'further left', you mean NOT being splattered with the confederate fail flag?

It's easy to criticize the past when you live in the age of indoor plumbing and electricity.

It’s also very common to remember a time in as “glory days” when in fact it was one of the most shameful times in America history. The confederate flag is the flag of treachery, treason and hate. So yes it’s very applicable to today’s Republican Party.

And believing that things become more socially liberal "inevitably" over time is ignorant of human history overall. The Ancient Romans and Ancient Greeks could be described as more liberal than Medieval Europe.

In our lifetimes, you might be able to say that Western nations will continue to shift leftward on social issues over time, but that's not necessarily going to happen a century or two from now.

When looking at a longer timeline, we can accurately suggest that societies go through phases in which the social paradigm can shift leftward, but revolutions can radically change that. Afghanistan was a lot more liberal under Soviet rule than it was under the Taliban. Iran was a lot more liberal under the Shah than they are under the Ayatollah.

In Western nations, you can even see it sometimes. Franco was a lot more conservative than his predecessors. In a lot of modern Europe, there has been a growing backlash against open immigration policies, as shown by the harsher policies that Macron has taken towards Muslims lately. Denmark has also grown a lot more conservative about certain societal policies that affect Muslims.

So, it's not as "inevitable" as you think. What is inevitable is that people will react accordingly if the repercussions of a policy become too detrimental to a society. Many progressive policies can create a conservative backlash even among moderate people.

When you claim that Iran was more "liberal" under the Shah you are showing a lack of understanding on the topic.

The Shah ranked right up there with Pol Pot for his cruelty to his people.
The fact that he was 'our" doesn't excuse that no matter how hard you try.

You're looking at blips in history and calling them trends. That's what Conservatives do to tell themselves their failing ideas are justified.

For example, you point out Medieval Europe as being "conservative" while ignoring the plague that created the Dark Ages and the Renaissance that followed. That period was a blip in the march of history whose long term mark is left only in museums and archeologists shelves.
