Recently I've read articles about some countries swinging in a conservative direction in their election cycles. Norway just elected their version of a conservative leader. While not conservative by our standards she ran on a promise of decreased taxation while preserving their social network. Norway is a very wealthy country with vast petroleum reserves. They will only run out of other peoples money when the oil is gone.
In Australia they also replaced liberal leaders with conservative leaders. It leads me to believe that after years of economic issues globally people are putting fiscal concerns at the top of their wish lists for elected officials. Liberalism certainly doesn't promote careful fiscal planning, being more concerned with so called social justice over the laws of economics.
Perhaps in three years the US will turn to leaders who believe in some sort of fiscal sanity.
