Are There Cycles in American Politics?After several decades during which progressive and liberal ideas dominated American politics, conservatism began making a comeback in the 1970s, and in 1980 voters elected the conservative Ronald Reagan president. Reagan’s commitment to less government regulation, a stronger military, and uncompromising anticommunism seemed to address voters’ concerns.
