John Quidor, The Return of Rip van Winkle, 1849, National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.
If you occupied what was considered the ideological / moral centre ground in 1966, and went to sleep for 50 years and woke up in 2016 you’d find yourself occupying the ideological /moral ‘far right’. You didn’t have to budge one inch ideologically to find yourself there. The whizzing sound you heard was the ideological / cultural centre ground zooming over to the Cultural Marxist hard left.
Everything that was considered mainstream, obvious, common sense, logical and moral in 1966 is now considered by our political, academic and media elite to be bigoted, ignorant, hateful, xenophobic, racist, extremist and some form of moral abnormality.
In other words, within the space of 50 years, morality, right, wrong, evil, good, normal, obvious, extreme, sanity, truth, beneficial, dangerous and the instinct for group preservation, has been inverted and stood upside down on its head.
Never before in the entire course of human history has an entire culture, race and civilisation decided to hand over its lands, social capital, heritage and identities to competing and intruding alien cultures without a fight, and even worse, to evolve an ideology that morally justifies and glorifies it as proof of their moral supremacy.
European man is in a civilisational death dance.

“I didn’t leave the Democrat party, the Democrat party left me.”
In the 50’s-60’s the Democrat party went through an upheaval and was literally taken over by the “alt-left”. it was reconstituted as the party of special interests and free stuff. If you had a special interest the Democrats promised you that in exchange for votes they would pass legislation to benefit your interest. Unions, gays, globalists, warmists, immigrants (legal and illegal); vote Democrat and get favorable legislation. Poor people, people of color, college students, and non-citizens; you want free stuff then vote Democrat and the free stuff spigot will stay wide open. But who took over the Democrat party? If you pull back the covers the Democrat party of today is a conglomeration of communists and Marxist socialists who do not have the best interests of America in mind. In fact if you look at what Democrats have done for the last 20-50 years it would seem that they actually do not like the U.S. and are intent on destroying it.

I think the correct term is “control-left”. :)
