Too many specific examples to name but the general thing that always seems subtle but which highlights the rot is how every year people supposedly combating this rot start to promote the very rot as if it were a good thing simply because it's less rotten than where the rot has progressed to now.

To give a specific example of this: leftists might suggest the SCOTUS needs to change because they're too "conservative". Leftists might suggest 5 liberals to replace the "conservatives" and their suggestions might be 5 White men. "Conservatives" would then suggest they're actually more "progressive" than liberals because they have "conservative" women and black men on the Supreme Court. In reality, a real conservative should not want any black men or women on the Supreme Court.

You see subtle instances of this all the time. The pendulum swings liberal and then conservatives adopt these liberal values. Then as the liberals continue along, the conservatives start promoting the same liberal values but the ones that liberal promoted 10, 20 or 30 years prior. Then when a real conservative pops up and actually promotes true conservatism these "conservatives" attack the real conservatives the same way in which liberals would have attacked the "conservatives". In effect, many modern "conservatives" are just liberals that are 10, 20 or 30 years behind and you see this subtle rot progress each and every year with some new example.
