Where would this decade rank now: I think it surpasses the 1970s and maybe even the 1950s but still below the: 1920s, 2000s, 1980s and 1990s

Economically or socially conservative? How much weight is placed on each type makes a big difference in the ratings.

I would say mix and for social and cultural issues I base it on context for the times and the direction things went in that  decade .

The fact that the 2010's are being considered "liberal"by so many is beyond depressing.

There were no Conservative or Liberal decades. Just decades with a Conservative or Liberal politicial elite legislating to a largely passive and lethargic voting public

2. 2000s
3. 1980s
4. 1990s
5. 2010s
6. 1950s(probably the decade most overrated in how conservative it was is by far)
7. 1970s
8. 1940s
9. 1910s
10. 1930s
11. 1960s

In chronological order except I'd put the 50s down as more conservative than the 30s or 40s.

How were the  30s and 40s and 60s more Conservative then the 80s or 2000s and same with 10s more conservative then the 1920s.

The conservatism of a society is generally judged by the attitudes and beliefs of the people therein, not what the top tax bracket happens to be. 

We are more "Libertine" nowadays.  We were far more economically liberal in the post-WWII era.

How are the 2010s and 1950s more conservative then the 1980s lol. The 1950s was a decade when Conservatives accepted the Keynesian paradigm while in 1980s they tore it apart and created a new Neo-Liberal One(Which is different than what liberal means in this) and on social/cultural issues the nation moved to the left throughout the 1950s not just on public opinion but dramtically on policy too while in the 1980s it was the exact opposite.


For the 2010s I will grant you the second half of this decade has been more conservative than the 1980s policy wise and direction wise but the first half was clearly more liberal and socially/culturally  the first half the decade had a far bigger impact than the second half .


The 90s are also more conservative than the 50s and 10s too as in the 90s the Liberals accepted the new Neo-Liberal paradigm and on cultural issues the nation moved to the right on many of them such as law and order(where Clinton made Reagan look like a Liberal on that issue), and bills such as DOMA were passed.

1780-1860 SLAVE ErA Agricultural era
1860-1910 Metropilitan and Industrial Revolution Secular era
1910-1945 NAZI and Jim Crow Era
1945-1980, Vietnam, Civil Rights Era Secular Era
1980 Conservative Reagan Era due to Rise of Iran, Great Recession and Income Inequality

Really, only 2 periods of time, during the 1860s and 1960s were there Liberal eras, rest were conservative times

As a serious answer, I'd probably go through each decade and look at the relative balance of power between left and right, both in federal and state governments. The problem with this is that "left" and "right" are really hard to define before the New Deal. They are also hard to define in the first 15 years after WWII. You either opposed communism, or you strongly opposed communism.

1910s are hard to say. I don't know much about culture/non-political trends in that decade.
