To your first point, all I can say is that I doubt it. I see a lot of moderate liberals becoming more conservative. It's anecdotal, of course, but it's everywhere.

That might be accurate if Shapiro or Peterson were radical conservatives. Both fall squarely into the "social liberal" category.
In my opinion, the best way to describe what you call conversion of liberals is radicalization of the youth. This is happening both on the right and the left, to varyi g degrees, probably because the two sides are more divided at the moment than they have been in the past.
Anyways, Peterson's popular book doesn't really have anything to do with his political stances. It's a typical self help book.
