It's interesting when you read the people who don't bother to deceive themselves about the stakes of these moments. i.e. Rothbard was rapturous about the Bell Curve because he thought it was a sign of the breakdown of egalitarian/anti-racist elite consensus

The real question is why is the anti-PC framing so effective? Even the left hates “PC culture” and believes fully in the stereotypes. The right has the most appealing rhetoric and that’s why they win the culture wars and votes. How can we change the dynamic?

The trick is that corporations and businesses now have to aim at a larger and more diverse market. This leads to a shift in who they're trying to please and, therefore, what they'll say and tolerate. The right essentially weaponized the backlash against this by blaming the left.

Idealism, hormones & a still developing prefrontal cortex make a powerful brew. Grad school, check-to-check work life, multiple divorces, a mortgage, children...all these can both mellow & sharpen a mind.
