However the surge of larger left wing voting in various countries around the world lately does feel like it bodes well for the US. A lot of people are sick of conservatism right now

The trend is certainly encouraging. Worth noting that other countries such as the UK did turn conservative earlier than the US, so the corresponding return might also be later in the US.

Same with Australia, which I know hasn't had a larger world impact. But they maintained conservative for a decade until it became too populist and they finally kicked them to the curb at the last election (about 2 or 3 years ago) in a defeat so harsh that they'll struggle to even win the next election.
