I find it amusing that people think Trump is 'right wing'. He’s a centrist, always has been. He appears, at least, to be a Constitutionalist. He’s a bit too liberal, socially, for me. But, I am a social conservative which is apparently a rare breed these days. The difference appears to be that he supports Israel (which hopefully can now call for a truce) and he wants a smaller government, which have traditionally been conservative calling cards. Although, I have to be honest and say it has been a very long time since a smaller government was a ‘Republican’ virtue...Rand Paul and Thomas Massie being exceptions.

Elon Musk did a chart to show how he was forced from being a liberal to right wing because the liberals recently moved left so the centerline moved with them causing Musk (and Trump) to end up on the right side of centerline.

Yes, that seems to be the case for many.

Indeed… and a society that has abandoned the teachings of Christ.
