I suppose it depends upon the time frame that we are talking about.
I am taking the 30 + years of the Conservative revival and you can see a definite change to the right in the attitudes of ordinary citizens.
The rise of fundamentalism in the same time frame reflects that personal change.
I am not debating where the change came from, corporate bosses right wing politics. just observing it.
