Some people believed it was a tug-of-war, where they had to pull hard to move the rope a little bit because the other side was also doing the same against them.
That's not unreasonable nor is it reasonable to expect the opposition to stop tugging against you and run full speed toward your side, leaving you flat-footed and shocked at the excessive gains you made.
If their end goal in the 70s was anti-white racism and sexism, mediocrity in hiring, and trans story hour then yeah it's fair to hold them responsible. But if what they wanted was short of these things it's not fair to hold them responsible for conservatives turning into limp-wristed pussies that couldn't pull back anymore.

The author of 'None Dare Call It Conspiracy' correctly pointed out that Tricky Dick Nixon was part of this camp in 1971. Conservatives-who-conserve-nothing have been a thing for a lot longer than most people realize. Perhaps since before the moniker 'conservative' was even coined.
This reasoning is pretty much why I give Regan a pass on his mass amnesty. Not his fault that the uniparty then went full steam ahead on mass illegal immigration and never fixed anything for the next 35 years.
