The pattern of Left-Right cultural dominance over recent decades plays out like this:
1940s-50s: The Right holds sway. WWII and the Cold War push conformity, patriotism, and anti-communism. Stability is key.
1960s-70s: The Left rises. Civil rights, anti-war, and feminist movements take over. Counterculture drives a focus on freedom, challenging tradition.
1980s: The Right returns. Reagan’s era is about traditional family values, economic conservatism, and anti-Soviet rhetoric. A response to the 60s and 70s excess.
1990s: The Left gains ground. With the Cold War over, there’s room for cultural liberalism—diversity, social freedoms, environmentalism.
2000s: The Right regains influence post-9/11. Security, patriotism, and conservative values intensify amid the “War on Terror.”
2010s: The Left takes the stage. Social media fuels movements like #MeToo, Black Lives Matter, and LGBTQ+ rights. Social justice is the cultural centerpiece. 1 reply
