I pointed out that it's more than just isolated economic policies. We've seen polling data from conservative sources over the past several months suggesting other progressive policies and ideas are taking root among "Republicans".
We can look at it through individual issues you've mentioned:
1.) Abortion Rights:

We are seeing a shift with younger (under the age of 50) Republicans who support abortion rights. There's admittedly work still to do in this regard, but things are slowly changing.
2.) LGBTQ equality:

https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc...states-favor-lgbtq-rights-poll-finds-n1243238
Support for gay marriage has increased to 49% of the party. 60% of Republican voters polled were in favor of trans rights. Things are changing in this front.
3.) Higher taxes on the wealthy:

The majority (53%) of Republicans support wealth taxes on the uber rich.
4.) Racial equality:

It was tougher to find recent polling data on this subject, but this is clearly an area where Republicans are still way behind the times, though the data does suggest that, like with abortion rights, we are seeing progress with regards to younger Republicans.
5.) Environmental reform:

Again, we see evidence that things are changing with the younger generation, as around 52% of young Republicans believe the federal government needs to do more to combat climate change.
Sorry it took so long to get this reply together, I had to do some quick research to make sure I wasn't just spewing shit out of my ass.
