The whole eastern bloc is still going through a period of anti-communist reaction, which is to say the whole thing is swinging to the right because the Left still reminds people of the dark times, it'll even out eventually.
Catastrophes blamed for one political wing usually put them out of power for a long time. The Republicans weren't really viable opposition for the Democrats until almost 40 years after 1929, but they came back eventually (much as i dislike them, the point is they swung back from a period of anti-Republican New Deal reactionism), or how the Democrats lacked real national leadership power in America since they were blamed for the Civil War, they weren't *really* in power for like 65 years
So it may take a while, but it'll even out.
As for me, i'm not sure how i feel about Obama. He didn't take advantage of the double-majority enough. Health Care bill was a pathetic baby-step, the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill is toothless, he couldn't end those idiotic Bush tax cuts, and he isn't telling the Republicans "you'll raise the debt ceiling under my terms or you'll get blamed for the default," which is what he should be doing right now.
Too soft. Democrats in this country are just Republican Lite since the 80s, and we need real Leftism back here.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
