I wasn't seeing any evidence of that at all. They certainly are now, because Trump reminded them that they don't have to play by lefty rules, but back in 2016 most conservatives had be successfully gaslit into believing that the only way to get ahead in politics was some kind of meek neocon "compassionate conservatism" where they constantly apologise to the left for everything.

Same in the clinton administration, but they weren't the majority. I think that's changed.
