The Brotherhood has been decimated and I really mean it. They've been destroyed the way Suharto killed off the PKI. There's a lot of internal conflict within the Brotherhood between the younger rank and file and the elderly, aging leadership. Turkish rapprochement with Egypt and the Gulf monarchies could see them evicted from Turkey and they're all but banned in Europe so the West isn't safe for them. A potential deal with Iran, which would have seen them join the Axis of Resistance fell through, probably over Syria. So now they have virtually nowhere to safely operate from.

Ennahda has effectively separated itself from the Brotherhood and has remodelled itself on the German Christian Democrats. The Egyptian branch, the Islamic Socialist Front, definitely is revolutionary but to curry favor internationally they've dropped the socialist elements of their platform and even Islam too and now their just anti-Assad Muslim liberals. In Jordan, they are conservative party that leans left on some issues.
The problem with Islamist parties is that even if they are popular enough to win elections they face too much pressure from liberals, leftists, and foreign powers intent on sabotaging them. So they try to appear moderate, which usually means dropping the Islamic and social welfare elements of their platform, becoming neoliberal democrats, and marginalizing the left wingers within their own ranks. This attempt at currying favor doesn't please liberals and secular leftists (who were never going to like them anyway) and it alienates their poor working class supporters who voted for better welfare and social policies. The libs and the leftists will then pin every single problem in the country on the Islamists and use it to drive them out of office or soft coup them like Tunisia.
