Highly likely. Remember what happened when the 1960s generation of free love and drugs got in power and legalised weed, and promoted sex? Yeah me either

You highly overestimate the influence that hippies had on the day to day of that era. Those guys are still into free love and weed. They just do it from inside the safety of their communes.
Maybe our perception of the 1960s generation is a good example of the spotlight fallacy.
That's like expecting the goth subculture to result in more eyeliner in congress one day.
