Yes I think you're right. Conservatives are far more naive when it comes to assuming that public opinion favours them than leftists are.

The safe middle class suburbia of order and good-paying non-college jobs that so many rank and file right-wing Republican voters desire is certainly lost, but it seems foolish to pretend it was an long-held tradition in America, as opposed to a result of New Deal liberalism.

If you think I'm drawing up a strawman, feel free to point to broader decline in Christianity, community, etc. But I think a lot of right-wing voters saying "Paul Ryan hasn't conserved a damn thing!" are correct and yet have far less higher ambitions than you do.

I don't necessarily disagree with you here, except to note that both new deal liberalism and what republican voters desire are effects as well as causes
