It's insane how fast it has happened. Just 4 years ago I would have thought it impossible that I would ever align myself with anything right-of-center. I honestly have no idea what to expect in the coming years, and I wouldn't trust anyone who thinks they know.

This phenomenon is nothing new. Look at the right wing movements in history. Fascism, Nazism or any other right wing movements. These largely arise because there is too much politically correct talk going on, and at some point a guy comes along and musters the courage to say all the things openly what others had been wanting to say for years. What he says could be totally wrong and may be even absurd. But the fact that people just need a vent to release years worth of accumulated pressure will buy a lot of public validity. Once this happens the public support, mood and direction swings too much to the other end. At this point PC won't even matter.

  I think you missed his point, he's not saying anything right of center is one short hop away from evil nazis! He's saying "Isn't it kind of strange that everyone else seems to have completely lost their minds?"

  What was the politically-correct talk that gave rise to Nazism?

    Kindly note, none of what I'm saying justifies Nazism. There was quite a bit of PC. Germany was paying huge war reparations to France and UK. It was sort of portrayed as 'atonement of sins'. Economy was in tatters. There was insane levels of humiliation dumped on German populace for losing WW1. People were expected to simply eat it up as moral punishment. None of this justifies WW2 or Nazism of course.

Stop thinking of politics as left/right. It's multipolar.

I'm worried that is has something to do with gut bacteria and our food sources. My girlfriend and I have been experiencing more and more issues managing our emotions and having rational conversations and our current research is leading us towards how the meat industry is operating. It's our hypothesis that we need to get the antibiotics and hormones out of our food supply or this issue of polarization is only going to get worse.
