When humans become insecure and anxious from accelerating change, they do not move left economically (seeking more government spending) but right culturally (seeking identity preservation, national cohesion, and exclusion of out-groups), which is a pattern the right understands better than the left.

Fared ZakariaEvidence Quote
“when human beings get very insecure and anxious, they don't move left economically, they move right culturally...the real anxiety people have is my world is disappearing...the right-wing understands it better because what they say is you know you're part of one nation we believe in God we believe in family”
