The development of modern US conservatism has certainly been decades in the making. The Civil Rights Era really pissed off some rich/powerful bigots once upon a time. And it shows in political movements that have come since that time.

Yes. The book The Quiet Coup by mehrsa baradaran goes into all of this. The racists were pissed after civil rights and decided that if black people could have equal opportunity, theyd build the economy and political system to give no power to any average person, depriving black political power and also everyone who isnt a lobbyist or big business owner.
