In democracy changes happen gradually, bit they happen (as we can clearly see comparing the 50s to now). I think that gradual radicalisation is a good thing. Eventually they can form a critical mass and a cultural shift that, anyway, is actually happening.

The only real change that will happen is when liberal democracy is abolished. The whole history of liberal democracy has been changing in one direction and that direction won't change until the foundations of the current western political and economic order are overthrown.

Liberal democracy is surely in decline across the world and in America/Europe too. The question is what is about about to come, and how.

Well if the Right doesn't get its sh*t together and continues to align itself with conspiratard, free market worshipping, anti authority conservatives then we will likely get dictatorship of the globalists who will purchase their own military power.

Yeah, that's a very real possibility.

What can you see from the 50s to now? Blacks got their rights within a decade, crackdown on racism lasted like 5 years, every politician shifted gears towards gay marriage in the span of 8 years, etc., etc., that is not gradual, that is all within single person's lifespan, it's just that people have shit memory.

Not to mention that here in Croatia it is the conservative party which has been in charge for 24 years (out of 32 years of existence) and they support the gay shit and immigration without any pressure from the left and with the pressure from the overwhelming majority of the people (and with the pressure of EU of course).

Conservatives are scoundrels and traitors who only care about money, the only gradual change that can happen is the one to the left when they're in charge (and no, I don't mean left in economic sense).

I don't know what is going on in Croatia - however in most of Europe there is s clear shift toward what we could call cultural right. This won't produce immediate effects. What will happen is that new set of ideas will enter the public discourse, allowing the production of a different kind of culture, which in return will be able to identify the objectives for the political class. This happened in the west from the 50s to until now, with gay marriage only becoming a thing in the late 2010s.
