It's easy: this is a Trump phenom, and not an ideological or cultural phenom, mostly.
Trump has no ideology, he used Twitter, FB and mass media to lie to the masses, and a certain group believed him.
Once he has less power, he'll have less influence.
FoxNews commenters became rabidly in favour of he $2K stimulus checks when Trump announced it.
It was pretty funny watching thousands of Fox commenters, normally screaming at the hint of 'Socialism' - backing up Trump's $2K checque claims and how 'people are having a hard time these days, they need the money'.
It's really sad how they will flip ideologies to be consistent with whatever he says.
Once Trump has moved on, then there will be other priorities.
