I'm getting the feeling that due to Western economic circumstances, and the way that societies have tended to shift in 'cycles', the winds may be shifting in the direction of a counter-revolution against American degeneracy, similar to the French Revolution, which was a violent revolt against excessive authoritarianism, but in the opposite direction, similar to the rise of the Victorian era in England, which was actually a generation becoming more 'conservative' than the previous, hopefully not that prudish though (I think not being able to show ankles is a bit much).
Likewise the post-WWII economic boom had such a dramatic effect on America, that it lead to an era of unprecedented excess, financially and morally, and helped pave the way for the new 'counter culture' and degenerates of the Baby Boomer industry, who've turned our entertainment industry into a moral sewer, and helped destroy our economy for our children with their greed.
I feel like the pendulum's beginning to swing the other way though, such as with Trump's surprising victory and Republican control of all branches of government, as well as the rise of 'far right' parties in 'liberal Europe' and success of Brexit.
Today mass culture is so rank that you'd have to go back to some of the more perverted Roman Emperors to find anything comparable; internet porn and smutty entertainment is marketed to children and young girls, Americans are obese, lazy, and nihilistic, infant genocide has been turned into a corporate industry under the guise of "women's rights" and radical liberals of Salon.com are more offended by traditional 'nuclear families' than they are by admitted pedophile activists, and adult men having a right to enter girl's bathrooms, not to mention the number of morally unproductive Americans obessed with little more than their imagined "freedom", when they couldn't be more of a slave in their cubicle prison they spend 50 or more hours a week at.
It's beginning to resemble Sodom and Gomorroh, and there's not much "further left" America can go, before it rebounds back in the opposite direction, just like the French Revolution, but in reverse. If we're lucky it'll be a peaceful one, but if not it might get a little bloody for the 'elites' like it did under the Jacobins...
Except maybe this time it'll the the heads of radical abortionists, pornographers, public sociology professors, "LGBT activiests", and degenerate entertainers like Amy Schumer on the guillotine - instead of Marie Antoinette's.
And many "far-right" politicians today, will be the moderates or center-lefts of tomorrow, while the far social left and libertarians will be... in the new Bastille, like their libertine rapist saint Marquis de Sade.
If this happens I won't condone it, but I won't actively oppose it anyway, just like I wouldn't have actively opposed the Rebel Alliance blowing up the Evil Empire.
Because there's only so far to the immoralist left you can pull the rubber band, before it swings back hard to the right, and if individuals want to intentionally spread moral disease, they should expect to be treated like lepers.

He understands that Death, when we have finished the part that was assigned to us, is the reward of Love. And he apprehends the truth that the greatest happiness ever granted to a man is the privilege of being happy in the hour of his death.
