Rise of fascism and the moderate right turning to far-right is the political story of the 21st century so far. (Which is exactly why you hear so much about "wokeism taking over".)

They're not movements you can beat without organized resistance.
It’s not former supporters of the moderate right (the professional middle class) who are turning to the far right. The far right draws support from the working class and uneducated who have abandoned the left, a process that has been going on for decades but has been accelerated by globalism and the increasing prominence of cultural issues in politics. Moderates (ie Macron) are getting it in the neck from both extremes as the liberal consensus crumbles.

The liberal left needs to find a way to win the uneducated working class back onside. And unsurprisingly, sneering at their backwards, unsophisticated cultural beliefs doesn’t work.
