The change has already occurred.
Conservatives can refuse to acknowledge that it has, but they only make themselves appear more and more anachronistic, obsolete, and out of step by refusing to acknowledge the reality of what's going on around them.
These changes have happened gradually over the past fifty years, which is longer than anyone here has even been alive.
Conservatives have had plenty of time- their entire lives, in fact- to get used to the fact that society is in flux.
You have to remember that these people are not conservatives, no matter what they call themselves. They are not acting in a manner characteristic of historic conservatism. These are typically religious zealots who came from a Democratic background, but escaped the Democratic party back in the 50s and 60s over issues such as race and abortion. Much of the modern day so-called conservatives, or neo-cons, are really a mutant mix of liberal ideas and religious zealotry.
It's no wonder they're so screwed up.
