There's something to be said for the notion that the new right folks are certainly animated mostly by cultural things- their newfangled willingness to buck neoliberalism is incredibly vague and flexible, which makes them fairly useful for institutional parties, who I think are cottoning on to this tendency. I also think there's something to be said that the average person confuses supposedly incongruent opinions with moderation, as especially in 2016, people really kind of projected a sense of moderation onto trump in the US presidential election since his views were incoherent.
