We live in a center-left country now.

Yep. Under the best conditions the trend may start to reverse in a decade or two, but only if Conservatives bolt the GOP once and for all and start about building a REAL opposition party.

My gut says that we will be living in a center-left Social Democracy for the rest of my lifetime. Obama will dangle a bunch of new Social Benefit Goodies before the electorate in 2014, and will likely rout the GOP.

Spend some energy preparing your life to function within this paradigm.

Good advice.

With 2.5 million (mostly white Republicans) dying every year being replaced by black/hispanic/asian >70% Dem voters, the trend is clear.
