I think the left is winning. A biological man recently won a woman's weightlifting contest. That would have been unthinkable 10 years ago.
For 50 years the left has been saying they're losing, while every decade has a larger share of economic activity made illegal, and a larger percentage of GDP spent on social welfare.
And it doesn't matter if it's Democrats in power or Republicans. The new Republican healthcare bill for example makes US healthcare more centrally managed and redistributive than it was 10 years ago. And despite the GOP passing a healthcare bill that the GOP of 10 years ago would have denounced as socialism, these are the kinds of headlines appearing in the media:
"Yes, House Republicans, the heartless health-care vote will define you"
..from the Washington Post.
The ideological tenets of socialism are being steadily more entrenched as mainstream values.
All someone has to do is look at the ten planks of the Communist Manifesto to see how many ideas that were once radically left have become normalized:
