No, they've been losing ground pretty steadily for 20 years. The media didn't pay much attention until recently because most of the losses were occurring in "flyover" areas.
They're paying attention now.
Even at the Federal level, the Republicans have had control of the House of Representatives since 2010, and the Senate since 2014.
And I don't agree that it's just the U.S. In other countries you have Brexit, the rise of the Le Pen family in France, etc.
