Agree but the wheels are really falling off. It isn't a done deal yet (for several reasons), but i think the cultural pendulum is already on its way back from "proto-fascism" toward "social democracy". The ideological effect is not necessarily going to mean electoral gains, but we can see that it's having a significant effect already.
