the Overton window is a concept that politicians only do what is “acceptable”, if you push further and further in a direction, things that were considered unacceptable in one epoch are now considered acceptable in another.
In the meme the Overton window is drifting extremely right extremely quickly (illustrated by the car) - implying that things that were unacceptably too far right are now considered more acceptable

I was saying ‘me and my friends have broadly been having the same political discourse which is balanced (the straight road), while the Overton window appears to have taken a handbrake turn to the right, of late’.
Apols if I’ve butchered a meme but I couldn’t think of a better image at the time. :)
