Interesting. My take is more that progressivism is still popular but is being crushed by an organized reactionary revanchist movement actively dedicated to undoing decades of social progress.
We've been dragged backwards on some very significant social issues and it only seems to be accelerating. The idea that social progress will march steadily forward does seem to be a myth in that light.
