The problem is that America is becoming more libertarian and left wing, I don’t think that it is going to birth itself back to conservatism.

With the exception of abortion, generally speaking, people would not be protected from the consequences of their vices. So the system would self correct, to some degree.
For example, a drug addict would starve, or have to go to work to support his habit, rather than be supported by welfare.
If my read is right, leftism will increase, grow government to unsustainable levels, collapse the system, and Conservatism will return.
I view it like mice given a sudden bloom of wheat. THey explode in number, grow to the point they all eat all of the wheat, and then the population dies back, and/or is eaten.
I think Libertarianism probably contributes to the problem by not enforcing group-cohesive and pro-K behaviors. (And I say that knowing the urges from the inside.) I want to go my own way, and not shame girls who get knocked up, or punish people who are obnoxious. But society needs that. Without it, r’s thrive, and bring the whole thing down. Libertarians just weren’t made to live and function optimally in a big group - they were meant to be really spread out.
The real problem, which actually does the taking down, is Leftism, and the uniform provisioning of resources to everyone, regardless of productivty or contribution. Freeloaders enjoy advantage, producers endure the detriment of work - that is the origin of the disaster. r’s explode like mice with free wheat.
Remove that, and we will naturally go K, and Conservatism rises. So we won’t birth ourselves back to Conservatism, so much as Darwin will kill Leftoids back, allowing Conservatives to continue as they were.
