They were largely contained during the last 1T, then started to gain traction with Reagan's presidency.  So we have seen decades of rot.

I would be careful not to pigeon hole all of the Right with the Authoritarian Right-there is also the Libertarian Right.

Some on the Libertarian Right are actually not really all that libertarian.  Look at the TEA Party as a prime example.  They're all in favor of the government leaving them alone, but have no compunction about using it as a cudgel against their supposed enemies on the Left.
