I see where you're coming from, but I tend to think we're entering a permissive phase really. Things like marijuana and gay marriage aber becoming much more accepted. The "dark age" were the 80s and 90s, IMO.

I wouldn't be surprised to see that reaction against Obama engenders a backlash so severe that it totally destroys at least all forms of cultural liberalness formulated post-1968.

Most of the people opposed to Obama primarily because of social issues will be dead in a few decades.
