i think we're already seeing a notable shift with our recent Presidents re: drug use - from 'not inhaling', to smoking 'pot' and snorting a 'little' cocaine... those politicians grew up in the 60's/70's when that was common with teens & young adults, and their voter peers did much of the same...
i think (maybe hope) we can expect in 30 years, when politicians rising into their 40s/50s are "outted" on sexting or lewd party photos - we the people (their peers) will look and say, "sure I did that stuff and have dozens of similar pictures, this must be a decent, normal human being"
