Gradually. A number of countries have seen a rise in votes for right-leaning parties that speak out against identity politics and the multiculturalism myth. Germany's ADF saw 12.6% of the vote in the 2017 federal elections, more than doubling their 2013 result. France's National Rally and Marine Le Pen had similarly positive results in 2017. Even if such parties don't form governments, increasing votes for them makes it harder for more mainstream parties to entirely dismiss the concerns that drive people towards right-wing parties.

It's going to take time. We're dealing with decades of manipulation by academia, media, social media, corporations, and government. Often people don't realise what is happening until it affects them personally, causing them to question the sincerity of a narrative purporting to be humanitarian in nature.
