The change from the 50s to the 80s was far more than just a normal cycle. It wasn't as big as the social Democrat's gain from the 20s to the late 30s but it wasn't the normal cycle with something like Reagan as president than Clinton (with a few years of Bush Sr. in between) followed by Bush Jr. That's a cycle, and that cycle might be moving back. But the American conservative movement had been not much more powerful than the libertarians are now, and eventually it became perhaps the most powerful political movement in the US, or at the very least it was clearly a major force. If that's a cycle than the Green party or the Natural Law party winning the next presidential election would just be a cyclical change.
