Is it really happening?

Could it be the case that all the social sexual woke weirdness over the past two years, especially the past few months, is changing some people's minds and making them more conservative? According to a recent survey, that looks like a distinct possibility.

But before diving into that headline, a word of caution. First, the term "conservative" has proven itself to be pretty darn elastic and somewhat difficult to nail down. It doesn't seem to correspond to an objective set of criteria but, rather, a description of where a person stands politically compared to someone else. So yeah, it's not all that helpful. But that said, it doesn't mean nothing.

Second caution: Polls and surveys nearly all need to be delved deeply into because the takeaway headline is almost always a giant overstatement of what the poll finds. So with those cautions, let's look, because there does seem to be some merit to this.

...

It looks like a "fed up" mindset is beginning to develop because a close examination of the deep data reveals Republicans account for the largest increase in saying they are socially conservative, from 60% in 2021 to 74% today, which is a 14-point jump in only two years.
