The pendulum can always swing too far. Look what happened to the loyal leftist useful idiots once things got to clown world levels. None of them were safe despite years, often decades of unquestioning service to the regime. The eye of sauron could turn on them in an instant and they'd have no say in it.
This could very easily happen on the right. Someone digs up a comment you made 20 years ago about Not All Migrants and suddenly you're in prison. Just because the right wing is the correct wing doesn't make it immune to corruption.
The ideal place for the pendulum is about 80% of the way to the right, but that's the thing about pendulums. They don't stop.
But we're SO far away from this situation, that it's not a real concern in our lifetimes.
If on one hand we have a radicalization of the right wing, the same is happening on the left.
And it took the left 60+ years to (nearly) fully occupy the educational and judicial systems. IF these "radical" right wing kids do grow up to occupy these positions, we'd still need decades to achieve critical mass.

Japanese and Korean people can stick around. Got no truck with them.
I used to worry about that as well.
