Eugene McCarthy is hardly a good example for the period you mentioned.  He was a crotchety old crank in a period that revolved around youth.

Not true, but to say Gene McCarthy embodies the "trend-left" of 1965-1980 is a little bizarre.

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.

Actually all of those people will be dead in a few decades. As will all of the people who support Obama on social issues. What's your point?
