According to The Wall Street Journal writers, The progressive moment is over—at least for now.

The writers say politics is swinging to the right as a result of the working class’s concern about the economy and immigration. Also, there is “growing fatigue with issues from climate change to identity politics.”

Donald Trump’s return has a lot to do with it.

Across Europe, where economic growth has largely stalled, conservatives and populist right-wing parties are making unprecedented gains. Three-quarters of governments in the European Union are either led by a right-of-center party or are ruled by a coalition that includes at least one.

The shift is set to continue. Canada appears poised to kick out a deeply unpopular progressive prime minister, and Germany is expected to dump its center-left government. Polls show the top two parties in Germany represent the center-right and the far-right.

We should enjoy the respite because they will be back. Marxists always come back. They’ve planned and plotted for a hundred years.
