The reverse is not true. This is why there's no funny right-wing comedians - they're never ahead of the curve.

Could that also be that conservatives look to the past and returning things how they were? It's maintaining the status quo, always keeping things as they are or reverting to how they used to be. Hard to be ahead of the curve when your platform is "avoid the curve at all costs".
