A lot of the "Blue Wave" (in a hypothetical world that it happens) would consist of moderate GOPers in Virginia and New Jersey  being replaced by centrist Dems who would block every progressive legislation other than pet social issues. Once again, the Overton window would shift right.

Not so sure. They would be afraid to be Cantored in reverse or "Crowleyed". The NY-14 primary proved once again that the progressive wing is pretty good in mobilizing their base.
Until we see the opposite of David Obey being replaced by Duffy or Feingold being replaced by Johnson...but in reverse, even a blue wave won't change the overall ideology of the House. It would simply be Trumplicans v. Rockefellerites with a few progressives.
