That's probably one part of it, but there's likely to be more.
In the west it's also probably push back to what has been a good couple of decades for liberal values. (The stomping down on racist and sexists public speech, gay rights making huge leaps, various subcultures such as metal or BDSM becoming more accepted...) It might very well be a somewhat temporary push back, as many political divides are essentially between age groups. (Played a big part in Brexit for example).
By "temporary" I mean "will pass in a decade or two".
