At the last moment, Bostian activated the emergency brake, but it was too late: The 98-ton locomotive and the seven cars and the 313 terrified passengers were now traveling on their own momentum, free from the rails, lurching rightward into the earth and forward into the surrounding darkness.

He attracted an avid following, and won the vote of many other liberal Democrats (myself included) who frankly doubted his ability to run the federal government but voted for him to try to correct the party's long rightward drift—and calamitous electoral losses—under the Clintons and President Obama.

Here, he implies that Corbyn, an unapologetic man of the left, bears some responsibility for the U.K.'s rightward shift: Take Britain's Labour Party, which swung to the populist left by electing Jeremy Corbyn, a socialist who has proposed renationalizing Britain's rail system, as its leader in 2015.

And all three post-liberal tendencies are in synch with aspects of the populisms roiling the West's politics: the radicals with Bernie Sanders and Jeremy Corbyn and Podemos and Syriza, the neo-reactionaries with Trump and Brexit and Le Pen, the Catholic integralists with Eastern Europe's rightward turn.
|

But it also comes with dangers: that the center will be defined increasingly rightward, as it has been throughout the life of the Islamic Republic, and that important but controversial reformist priorities — human rights, representative politics and the rule of law — will languish beyond the pale of political expediency.

Israel has a long and robust socialist political tradition but has tilted sharply rightward after the 1990s peace process collapsed into the violence of the second intifada and a 2005 military withdrawal from the Gaza Strip ended up with a takeover of the territory by the Islamist group Hamas.
|
|
If Trump has struggled to come up with policy proposals that can gain the support of nine or 10 Democratic senators, then it is only going to be harder to reach deals with a Democratic House caucus that's much more liberal than the rightward wing of the Senate caucus.
|
|
After being exposed to the Spanish speakers on their metro lines for just three days, attitudes on these questions moved sharply rightward: The mostly liberal Democratic passengers had come to endorse immigration policies — including deportation of children of undocumented immigrants — similar to those endorsed by Trump in his campaign.
|
|
As Iowa Democrats prepare to caucus and the candidates engage in an intense primary debate about the kind of party it wants to be, it's important to assess that history of neoliberalism with clear eyes and weigh the price that this rightward shift has taken on the nation.
|
|
But in other ways, Mr. Johnson's government has turned rightward even as Labour veers to the left, pledging new police powers and reaching a "hard" Brexit deal with Brussels that envisions the country cutting ties with the European market in order to strike new trade deals around the world.
|
|
With the court on the precipice of a dangerous lurch rightward, polling data indicate that Democrats have a positive view of Chief Justice John Roberts, who has expressed regard for precedent and concern for the court's legitimacy, encouraging a view that he will step in to prevent partisan excess.

After Alabama supported John F. Kennedy for president in 1960, the first election I remember as a child, I watched as my state's majority, mostly white, shifted rightward in the aftermath of the civil rights '60s — on through the Reagan '80s, the Christian right '90s and the Tea Party '00s.

On a scratchy WhatsApp line from Guatemala, where he has passed much of his time out of power, Di Battista comes out swinging when I ask about Five Star's apparent rightward slide: "Today, whoever wants to take back sovereignty is considered a fascist, a nationalist, a populist, a demagogue," he says.
|
|
On the one hand, the understanding of the Democratic Party as a set of interests perfectly explains why the candidate with broad demographic support and interest group loyalty (Hillary Clinton) beat the ideologically pure candidate who wanted to cleanse the party of its more rightward, pro–Wall Street elements (Bernie Sanders).
|
|
EU difficulties in absorbing over 1.36 million new migrants since the start of 2015, and a series of Islamist attacks, have stoked anti-Muslim feeling across the EU and boosted the appeal of far-right, anti-immigrant parties, prompting a rightward shift of governing centrists ahead of key elections next year.

If Sinclair is allowed to complete its proposed merger with Tribune Media we would find ourselves in a situation where 70 percent of American households receive their local news from a Sinclair-run news station, a company which is actively meddling in local news coverage to give it a rightward tilt.

|
In doing so, they added an exclamation mark to their victory in muscling through a second Trump Supreme Court justice, and deepened a historic imprint on the federal judiciary in President Trump's first two years in office that could push some of the nation's most important courts rightward for a generation.
|
|
In another 20-4 ruling, conservative Chief Justice John Roberts - who now occupies the court's ideological center amid its rightward shift - joined the liberal justices in putting the brakes on Trump's plan to add a contentious citizenship question to the 2020 census, but Kavanaugh joined the other three conservatives in dissent.
|

That began to change several years ago, with the immigration of young Jews from around the world to the neighborhood, including some of the thousands of Israelis who have migrated to Berlin in recent years — many of whom lean to the political left and are troubled by Israel's rightward political shift.
|
|
But a stark, rightward drift in Israeli politics and society stands as a significant obstacle to any two-state peace deal, and Mr. Netanyahu has shown little inclination toward concessions, especially on the status of East Jerusalem, an emotional issue for many Arabs and Muslims because of its holy sites.
|
|
And this strategy, for all its possible defects, has one obvious advantage for national security policymakers: It frustrates popular opposition by never supplying a strong reason — whether in mass casualties or clear military defeats — for antiwar sentiment to leave the rightward and leftward fringes and become a major popular concern.
|

MacLean's book, published by Penguin Random House, has been hailed as a kind of skeleton key to the rightward political turn in American political economy by intellectuals including the journalist Jamelle Bouie, who says he came away from the book "completely shook"; the novelist Genevieve Valentine, who says on NPR.
|
|
The larger question in the wake of the 2018 elections is whether the forces that propelled Democrats into the majority in the House are powerful and persistent enough to force a shift from the rightward direction of policymaking that has held sway over a significant stretch of the past 40 years.
|
|
Not only are new museums devoted to the Bauhaus opening their doors in Weimar and Dessau — the two cities in eastern Germany where it briefly prospered before being chased away by rightward political shifts — but countless exhibitions, symposiums and newspaper articles (including this one) are attempting to explain its significance.

The impulse to move up and to the right can clearly be seen in Agrawal's demo video: Within seconds, the AI-controlled Mario starts hopping rightward like a hyperactive toddler, causing ever-more-unpredictable effects (like bumping against a hovering brick, or accidentally squishing a mushroom), all of which drive further exploration.
|
|
If the White House continues to move forward with its policies in this hyper-aggressive fashion, which by all indications seems likely, Trump's opponents will be depending on smart or defiant agency officials to push back against this aggressive rightward push -- at least until Democrats can regain majorities in the House and Senate.
|
|
Earlier in the day, President Donald Trump met with the Freedom Caucus, the most conservative faction of House Republicans, which has vowed to sink the bill in a House vote if it is not changed, and with the Tuesday Group — a contingent of more moderate Republicans increasingly wary of the rightward push.
|
|
In his argument that the recent legal victories for corporate rights have their roots deep in the past, Winkler joins historians such as Jefferson Cowie and N.D.B. Connolly, who have made the case that the rightward shift of American politics over the past few decades must not be seen as an anomaly.
|
|
The prospect of Mr. Trump winning the election or significantly swaying the global political debate rightward is especially worrying for Mr. Hollande, who is facing strong challenges from the French center-right Republican party, led by former President Nicolas Sarkozy, and from the far-right National Front, led by Marine Le Pen.
|
|
Submitted three days before the bill is scheduled for a vote on the House floor, the two packages — one that amends technical details (like typos in subheads) and the other that makes substantive changes to the bill — show a clear rightward shift in the Obamacare replacement plan, including harsher cuts to Medicaid.
|
|
Which is why the wisest take on the overall direction of the Supremes is the one that concludes Jack Goldsmith's recent analysis in The Weekly Standard: If you're expecting a broad "conservative revolution" as opposed to a gentle rightward drift, it will take "a sixth or seventh conservative justice" to deliver it.
|
|
Unions' equalizing effects apply to politics too: While the increasingly wealthy and big corporations have fueled a rightward shift in American politics and policy since the era of Ronald Reagan, unions could help — as they especially had before they were weakened in the 27s — swing the pendulum back in the other direction.
|
|
Mike Pence In addition to these three core conservative elements behind the impeachment investigation, Democrats looking to forge bipartisan accord can reiterate that if President Trump were impeached and convicted, he would be replaced by an extraordinarily conservative Republican -- Vice President Mike Pence -- who is arguably even more rightward than the President.
|
|
In fact, not long after the memo was written, a handful of billionaires—including John Olin, who made his money in chemical and munitions manufacturing, newspaper publisher Richard Scaife, heir to Mellon fortune, and petrochemical scions David and Charles Koch—began to create an apparatus to shift politics rightward in much the way Powell outlined.
|
|
Since the demise of the Soviet Union, Kuttner contends, America's Democrats, Britain's Labour Party, and many of Europe's social democrats have consistently tacked rightward, relinquishing concern for ordinary workers and embracing the power of markets; they have sided with corporations and investors so many times that, by now, workers no longer feel represented by them.
|
|
The district Mr. Mulvaney represented in Congress, which has lurched rightward in recent decades, is a blend of overwhelmingly conservative suburbs, blue-collar former mill towns like Union where Mr. Trump's populist appeal was strongest, and military communities scattered around installations at Shaw Air Force Base and nearby Fort Jackson in the region's southernmost reaches.
|
|
But if presidents got a set number of appointments that almost certainly couldn't be blocked by the Senate, maybe Republican senators wouldn't feel pressured to confirm him before the midterms, and maybe Democrats would be reassured that if they defeated Trump in 2020 they would be able to reverse the rightward drift of the country.
|
|
All this data points to a clear conclusion: Even if the 2019 Danish elections do turn out to be a story of the left winning based on a rightward shift on immigration, which doesn't seem likely, there's little reason to believe that this strategy would work elsewhere — and good reason to think it might backfire.
|
|
The rightward shift of the Republican Party was the result not only of the numbers of people who protested Obama, but also the fact that the tea party's grass-roots efforts garnered support from powerful entities like conservative media and well-funded advocacy groups who channeled the energy of the base into particular political institutions and policy priorities.
|
|
The resurgence of fascism has been much in the news recently as governments the world over slide ever rightward, but in Hungary—whose own far-right president faces reelection in 2018—parliamentarians think they have struck upon a solution that will eradicate the scourge of nationalist totalitarianism once and for all: changing the labels on Heineken beer.
|
|
If he is confirmed, he will shape the course of American jurisprudence for generations to come, filling the seat long occupied by the retired Justice Anthony M. Kennedy — a critical swing vote on divisive matters like same-sex marriage and abortion — with a committed conservative who would push a rightward-leaning court even further in that direction.

"Run the Jewels 3" gives the impression of being the document of two grown men, raised under radically different circumstances, trying to make each other keel over in laughter—Mike is the "pervert with purpose that make you question your purpose," El-P is ill-mannered and loutish, the embodiment of a horny, rightward swipe on Tinder.

Just as the rise of far-right parties is forcing many mainstream politicians to pivot rightward, so, too, has the populist mood energized the most extremist right-wing groups, those flirting with or even embracing fascist policies that trace back to World War II. "Before, pro-fascist sentiments were kept hidden," said Gabriel Sipos, director of Transparency International Slovakia.

And research from Martin and his colleague Josh McCrain found that when Sinclair buys a local station, its local news program begin to cover more national and less local politics, the coverage becomes more conservative, and viewership actually falls — suggesting that the rightward tilt isn't enacted as a strategy to win more viewers but as part of a persuasion effort.

But Shady Hafez, a youth worker whose mother is Algonquin and whose father is Syrian, said that America's rightward shift under Mr. Trump had made Canadians feel smug about their liberalism, and that some believed that they had been given a license to support racism in Canada, while others thought that Mr. Trudeau now had an excuse to be complacent about minority rights.

In Sanders's run in 2020, as in his primary challenge in 2016, it is striking the extent to which establishment campaigning, which amounts to Get a Load of These Other Guys and detailed plans to competently administer something like the status quo, has struggled relative to his bolder promises to arrest and reverse a rightward drift that feels increasingly untenable.

Since the 1970s, the gutting of the American labor movement and the steady rightward slide of the Democratic Party on economic policy has had the effect of consigning much of the left to niche activist spaces and the academy; the inevitable result of years of decline, in other words, has been a left that has no clear model of what electoral success even looks like.

The book's strength lies in its grasp of Japan's cultural history: the dominant literary figures; the political currents that drew the young Kurosawa into the proletarian art movement; the country's rightward shift in a militaristic direction; and the war years, when Kurosawa began directing under heavy censorship, keeping his head down, followed by the American occupation and a chance to make more expressive films.
|
|
On the one hand, one of MacGillis's key points is that the resentments and frustrations of these voters are often less racialized than liberals may think — that in many cases rightward-trending Kentuckians or Pennsylvanians aren't reacting to the distant spectre of a black welfare queen or food-stamp king so much as they are to the immediate reality of dysfunction and welfare-dependency among their white relatives and neighbors.
|
|
With all the attention on President Trump, in many ways the real action is taking place in Congress, where they are smoothing the way for very rightward leaning appointees, demonstrating almost no resistance to the President's most controversial actions, such as the executive order on refugees, and preparing to move forward with a legislative menu of tax cuts, deregulation and higher military spending that must be making Ronald Reagan smile in his grave.
|

A recent paper by Emory University political scientists Gregory Martin and Josh McCrain found that when Sinclair Broadcast Group, a legendarily right-wing network of local TV stations, buys a station, its local news programs begin to cover more national and less local politics, the coverage becomes more conservative, and viewership actually falls — suggesting that the rightward tilt isn't enacted as a strategy to win more viewers but as part of a persuasion effort.
|

If the idea of moving rightward seems distinctly strange to today's Democrats, it's partially because until this month's rude awakening, much of liberalism was in thrall to demographic triumphalism: Convinced that the party's leftward drift under President Obama and candidate Hillary Clinton was in line with the drift of the country as a whole, and confident that with every birth and death and naturalization and 18th birthday their structural advantage would only grow.
|
|
While there is a populist tilt in Slovenia, the shift is nowhere near the seismic changes in Britain, where voters last year backed leaving the European Union; in Germany, where the Alternative for Germany became the first far-right party to enter Parliament in decades after elections in October; or in Austria, where the People's Party emerged in October as the strongest political force in the country, setting the course for a rightward shift.
|
|
First, using the DW-nominate measure — which uses roll-call votes over time to identify a left-right spectrum, and doesn't impose any constraint of symmetry between the parties — what we've seen over the past generation is a sharp rightward (up in the figure) move by Republicans, with no comparable move by Democrats, especially in the North: So self-identifying as a Republican now means associating yourself with a party that has moved sharply to the right since 1995.
|
|
Of course, a court without Kennedy or one of the more liberal members of the current Supreme Court would test the longevity of and perhaps illuminate the reasons for this shift — given that such a vacancy, should it come in the near future at least, likely would lead to a more dramatic rightward shift on the court (and, possibly, place Roberts in the unusual and powerful position of being both the "swing vote" justice and the chief justice).
|
|
Angry and frightened by the prospect of the Supreme Court moving further rightward, much of the progressive base is inevitably going to take out their rage not on Trump, McConnell, and vulnerable Senate Republicans like Dean Heller (R-NV) but on Democrats for not being able to make the right tactical choices to block him — just as much of the progressive rank-and-file reacted to disappointment with Democrats' legislative productivity in 2009-2010 by sitting out the midterms.
|
|
Even by splitting the vote a little they would stand to forfeit a fair chunk of the AfD's 12.6 percent share won at the last federal race in 2017, pushing the far-right parties numerically closer to more established parties like the center-right FDP (10.7 percent), democratic socialist The Left (9.2 percent) and even the resurgent leftwing Greens (8.9 percent), whose euro-friendly tone has struck a chord with young voters dismayed at rightward turns across the continent.

In the Reagan '80s they were seen as the most Republican-friendly immigrant group — more educated and prosperous than other immigrants, often anti-Communist (in the case of the Vietnamese and Taiwanese especially), bearing Confucian or Christian values that aligned with a traditional-values G.O.P. But then from the Clinton era on Asian voters swung toward the Democratic Party — a shift that probably reflected changes in immigrant composition (more South Asians relative to East Asians, more non-Christians relative to Christians), the declining salience of anti-Communism, and a reaction to the G.O.P.'s continued rightward shift and white-Southern-Christian brand.

In addition to Chambers, there's James Burnham, a Trotskyist philosopher of the nineteen-thirties who became a founding editor of National Review; Ronald Reagan, who started out closer to the mainstream than any of the others; Norman Podhoretz, who, in the sixties, took Commentary first leftward and then rightward with him; David Horowitz, the son of Communist Party members and a radical friend of the Black Panthers, until their violence sent him fleeing to Reaganism; and Christopher Hitchens, who belongs in another category, having never been an orthodox leftist and having never really fit with the new conservative friends of his final decade.
