Supporters of progressive cultural and political movements often declare their ideas “inevitable” and “on the right side of history.” The last few years, however, have demonstrated the need to take such claims with a grain of salt. Arguments and cultural fads that once seemed unstoppable now look dated, and those who persist in making the arguments and following the fads, failing to realize that history never had a “right side” to begin with, look a little silly.

Conservative New York Times columnist Ross Douthat once described certain events as “scissor” stories, with headlines, statements, ideas, or scenarios “perfectly calibrated to tear people apart…” Regardless of details, those on the left feel obligated to react to these events one way, while those on the right feel obligated to react the opposite.

At the recent Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) conference in London, many referred to the past year of conservative wins in the U.S. and other Western nations as a “vibe shift.” Perhaps, but it’s just as clear that not everyone got the memo.
