4. I don't think your analogy to 60s and 70s is accurate |

The "establishment" back then was the Democratic Party, which controlled Congress throughout that time frame and the Executive branch through much of it.
The current GOP establishment has no interest in throwing a bone to anyone on our side of the political spectrum—radical, liberal, or moderate.
I'm not arguing against your notion of an ideological counter-offensive. Just the analogy you use to back it up.
