Why aren't the LGBTQXYZ movements given as a recent example? A tiny group of people (that is disproportionately wealthy and powerful) managed to slide the West from something unthinkable (gay marriage, same sex attraction) into legalization and acceptance of the phenomenon as normal. Granted, we should distinguish between those with persistent same sex attraction and gays i.e. those who embrace the so-called "gay lifestyle" and express support for its acceptance and legal recognition. The left has a history of such manipulation. Saul Alinsky is famous for it. Soros is a contemporary symbol of it.
