They wouldn’t be able to keep doing it if the majority of voters collectively denounced those politicians for it and refused to vote for them.

That's the thing, like the Tea Party taking over the Republicans, or all the times it has happened with Canadian Conservatives they find a juicy target with popularity, and before the electorate can realize what has actually happened(if they ever do) they assume the benefits of the previous moderate party, and pivot. I'm not sure why the right is so vulnerable to this, but they keep letting it happen(and inviting and egging iton in many cases).
