i don't think anyone expects a new world, not that it matters to folk in the alternate universe you're stuck in, powerclown.
i think folk expect, with varying degrees of optimism, a concerted attempt to address the fiasco that conservatism in power has made, that neoliberalism has made.
the only population that is apparently incapable of taking in the magnitude of the fiasco that conservative ideology american-style has generated are those who continue to look around them and so no fiasco because they cannot face the reality that their own politics have created. but if you, for example, cannot face that, then you, for example, aren't talking about the political at all--you're talking to yourself in an increasingly irrelevant private sitcom.
generally, when a sitcom has jumped the shark, those involved consider ending the show. you can't keep confusing canned laughter with something it's not forever.
