I'll explain my reasoning as someone who would have voted liberal ages 30 years ago and not now.
Gay rights are mainstream in both parties these days and not a concern. That would have been a great factor in shifting me to the left.
While I'm much in favour for complete drug legalisation, between the chance of getting legal drugs + higher taxes and no legal drugs + same or lower taxes, I'd always pick the second one.
After legal drugs are a mainstream topic and given for granted, I would have even less arguments for voting liberal.
Conservatives are not great in social policies, liberals are not great in economic policies.
Moreover liberals became against free speech, against gun rights and pro cancel culture which is ruining their only appeal - freedom in social policies.
They're also pro in a lot of things I find morally abhorrent, like abortion (infringement on the unborn baby's freedom) and transitioning transgender underage kids.
