The pressures to be more extreme were unignorable because the effects were felt daily and directly in a way that a "more right wing than normal" area will lack to the same amounts. ...Then we are saying the same exact thing.
Ohhhh okay, my mistake, I took from what you said that normies were moving more rightward, not that people on the right were moving more rightward. That's been definitely happening because they are abandoning Liberal presuppositions.
That being said, I would expect reactionary attitudes to form among the public as a result of the conditions you listed.
Regardless of anything, the Right as a whole has its average belief more extreme (as in, further to the Right) than it has been in the decades prior. Which is my original point.
Strangely enough, I feel like the right on the whole maybe only moved about as far right as they would have been in 2003 or 2004. I've said before that it's clear to me that the Evangelicals lost the culture war, but I feel like the rest of the culture pushed almost into a right-libertarian direction. I really am not clear on why the religious right seems to have gone Catholic. I'm not clear on that at all.
