The whole Western world has shifted rightwards in recent years as can be witnessed in election results.

Politics works in cycles and maybe we are seeing the backlash of a lot of people starting believing in climate issues. Now that actions start being taken, people not caring about climate start pushing back because they need to change their lifestyle, and some parties (right wing/populists) promise them nothing has to change.

I think though that is getting harder and harder to ignore actual climate issues (storms, floods, heat), wonder what will be these parties next claim to convince voters "is the left wing/immigrants that generated the floods?"...

it's because the left has been attempting to make progress too fast, without regard to the people who lean towards the right as tho their point of view is universally regarded as being wrong. Reactionary politics is real, and the left ought to be more aware.

Leaning towards left (aka progressive) is good, but if you're not paying a cost for it, someobody else is - and it's likely someone leaning right that's being forced to do so. They're not gonna like it regardless if whether it's generally a good thing.

I think single factor explanations are likely to be overly simplistic. Usually, there is not one single reason that motivates people to vote one way or the other.

This is an unsupported shower thought but I suspect societies become more right when times are not as good.

You support immigration if you have a stable job and own a house but you don’t if you are getting laid off and aren’t sure what you next job will be.

And it seems most of Earth has lately been in a rougher place.

> it's because the left has been attempting to make progress too fast

I think social progress is linked to technological progress (increased communication, education, etc.) and it is absolutely true that technological progress is on a rocket headed to the moon.

The whole Western world? It seems mostly men, not women: https://www.reddit.com/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates/comments/1ac0...

The fact that those charts show Germany leaning considerably more conservative than the US makes me skeptical of their methodology.

Societies become more right when they see how left destructive policies and actions. People are not stupid, they can be fooled temporarily by high moral stances, but once they see all bs, they move away.

“Times are not good” not because of some unknown force but because of policies/actions creating those “not good times”

"US data is respondent's state ideology. Other countries show support for liberal and conservative parties" It shows increasing disagreement between women and men on the matter. Me2 and BLM showed how much is going wrong in society and it reached many people around the world. edit: additional link on the matter: https://www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-gender-gap-young-men-w...
