The swing to the Right is partially empowered by those who were raised liberal and called to activism.
Liberals are raised to see injustices in the "system".
Liberals who leave the liberal world and become conservative or traditional have been trained in the above paradigm, so that is going to add force to the swing to the Right.
So that grooming for activism is going to be used against the left, but this is actually a problem. You cannot fight fire with fire, in this case, because the liberal-left makes a full time job out of manipulating semantics and popular culture; they will always win at this game.
Trump's approach was flawed because it was too strong a front-line challenge. By declaring that he is going to "drain the swamp" he sort of "showed his hand" at the poker game.
He needed to learn from the Christians of Ancient Rome. Those Christians quietly and slowly built an alternative society based upon charity, an idea foreign to mighty Rome.
Constantine was probably not overcome by a vision of "in this sign, conquer", oh please he was a Roman warlord, I believe he basically surrendered to the popularity of growing Christianity and gave in, declaring Rome a Christian nation, after Armenia had done so.
Christians had slowly and quietly built an infrastructure, and they slowly and quietly conquered Rome.
Some conservative activists, who had grown up liberal, were using liberal-left tactics to battle the modern liberals, the democrats, and they were bound to lose at that.
They should have built more quietly.
