Some people are under the misapprehension that "isms" are on our ballot and we chose between them when we vote.

It doesn't work that way. You could say that voters rejected liberals. You could even say that they didn't like Obama's or Clinton's liberalism. The do seem to be in a conservative mood right now and willing to give conservatives a chance.

But it would be harder to say that they repudiated something called liberalism going all the way back to the New Deal or so. Voters didn't sign on to some conservative manifesto or take out membership cards. In any case there's a reason it's called the "electoral cycle" and what voters will be thinking four or eight years down the road is anybody's guess.

The MSM will be on full attack propaganda mode the whole time. The homeless stories will run on the news every night until the next election.
