In general I agree you are correct, but there are rare examples.  Iran under the Shah was much more liberal than it has been since he was deposed and replaced by a more orthodox religious leader.


Here in the US the progression is like the stock market charts.  There are up and down cycles but over all it continually rises.  There is not going to be a sudden major shift to the right as "backlash" to anything.
