Of course, and this is not a pattern confined to the United States. The Cold War, and the broader ideology of 'anti-Communism' grealty benefited right-wing political parties in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Germany (some of the more prominent examples), as the left (especially in the 1940's, 50's and 60's) could be portrayed rather easily as soft on communism. The aforementioned reversal of success when it comes to winning elections for parties of the right was demonstrated in the 15 years following the fall of the USSR (although that is not to play down the numerous other factors in the decline of right-wing and conservative politics since the 1990's).
