That's what I keep seeing..."the pendulum will swing back". In 2016 I agreed with them as Trump should have been that swing. But instead the left managed to not only hold the pendulum back they broke it and it went flying off a cliff to the left.
Back in 2016 I used to tell people we're on a train heading for a cliff with the bridge out. Trump's going to throw the brakes. It's not going to stop the train the best we can hope for is that it derails it. It won't be pretty, but we know that Hillary would have kept shoveling coal into the engine speeding up as we go over...

This so much. Back in 2016 - 2017 I was mostly nonchalant about the pendulum swinging back the other way, but didn't dismiss it. These days it's obvious the pendulum will not swing back the other way, and the only way things will change is sadly through non-peaceful revolution.
It was only a pendulum so long as the baby boom generation directed the economic & and social climate due to its sheer size. So when they changed their minds, so did the course of the nation.
I’ve seen this a lot in optimistic boomer types like your parents. While the negative ones (like minej are just happy to be dead before things get really bad. Either way it’s not their world anymore.
