Golly isn’t it very obvious that the right wing won and for the most part continues to do so despite obvious flaws which the lid has come off of.

The left won the culture and the right won the economy -- at least that's the narrative that seems to dominate most discussions like this.  We may be on the brink of real change, but greed is hard to defeat when it has the kind of power it does today.

I am not sure that the left really won the culture. If they did wouldn't we still be in the "free love" mindset?

I don't think it matters.  We're still open about sex, and comfortable with consenting sex of all types, assumiing the consenting are old enough to consent.  That sex is now a mundane enough issue that it has gotten boring (or at least not exciting) makes the point.  Nothing is nearly as tempting as the illicit.
