The Rightward swing is a constructed response to crisis, not its reflection

Evidence

In short, the nature of its populism . But now it must be added that this is no rhetorical device or trick, for this populism is operating on genuine contradictions, it has a rational and material core. Its success and effectivity do not lie in its capacity to dupe unsuspecting folk but in the way it addresses real problems, real and lived experiences, real contradictions—and yet is able to represent them within a logic of discourse which pulls them systematically into line with policies and class strategies of the Right. — Hall, Stuart, Essential Essays, Volume 1, 1130 (#contradicts, via linked claim)
