Everyone should know about the Overton Window

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window

The Overton window is the range of policies politically acceptable to the mainstream population at a given time. It is also known as the window of discourse.

... basically the idea that political ideas and discourse can be subtly moved from one position to another over time ... the danger being that people can be influenced or convinced to move to ever more extreme ideas and policies.
