That’s what was thought in the 1880s and 1920s.
The coming economic slides and all-out wars will end this version of a New World Order. They always do.
LOL. Do you think the Great Depression ushered in a new era of conservativism? In the US we got four terms of FDR and Dem control over the House for forty years straight and just a couple of sessions when the GOP controlled the Senate. In Germany with the fall of the Weimar Republic, we got Hitler. In the UK Labor took over. I could go on and on how such economic slides result in more socialism and stronger executives.
We have a failed presidency. Obama was a disaster by any metric yet he won an overwhelming victory electorally. It wasn't even close except for the popular vote, which he won 51% to 48% (so far with millions of votes to be added--many from CA, which has reported only 71% of the vote) and a difference of over 3 million votes. Under the old political paradigm, there is no way he could have been reelected. And he was not only reelected, he had coattails that added to the Dem majority in the Senate and there were 8 takeovers of various houses of state legislatures. Obama suspended the laws of political gravity. We can come with all kinds of reasons, but it is just a state of denial.
As many Reps still cannot comprehend, we have reached a real tipping point. The rapidly changing electorate will make the Dems the permanent majority party. There is no way we win in 2016 no matter what happens to the economy. Hillary will be the President in 2016 and she will promise to fix the problems that she and Obama inherited from Bush. It will take a little longer, but they will fix it.
In the meantime Obamacare will be fully implemented and we will have a few new SCOTUS justices to remove any constitutional impediments to the transforming of America. Obama's reelection is, ipso facto, proof that we have already been transformed.
