Goes beyond that, Trump was a reaction to something too.
Jonathan Haidt has an interesting theory, goes back to the 90s. Academia that had always leaned left turned overwhelmingly so when the war generations retired / got replaced. This alienated the right completely and it became anti-science because the ideas coming out of the "ivory tower" were ideologically so far from them. Which then lead to increasing political tensions over the past two-three decades. I recommend checking some of his stuff on Youtube, it's very interesting.
