Vänsterns tillbakagång

Här är en mycket intressant text om den amerikanska vänsterns långsiktiga tillbakagång:

In the tumultuous history of postwar American liberalism, there has been a slow but steady decline of which liberals have been steadfastly oblivious. The heirs of the New Deal are down to around 20% of the electorate, according to recent Gallup polls. Conservatives account for 42% of the vote, and in the recent election the independents, the second most numerous group at 29% of the electorate, broke the conservatives' way. They were alarmed by the deficit. They will be alarmed for a long time.

Jag tror det börjar bli dags att skriva den västerländska vänsterns dödsruna. För mönstret börjar nu bli närmast övertydligt i allt fler länder.
