Anti-establishment changed in 2020-2021, when the "establishment" itself showed the world how untrustworthy it was.

What has not changed yet for enough people is the belief that you can change the establishment from the inside. This is a generational thing, with boomercons still totally mired in believing the institutions are still fixable, and pretty much everyone else convinced that there is no fix, only dismantlement is the solution.
