I disagree. I believe culture drives law long term. For example: The abolishment of slavery began as a movement where people(in the north and overseas) were disgusted with it way before before it led to legal reforms. The south played the same tricks that they are doing today. THe difference was that the control of the narrative led to meaningful action(ie. Lincoln ignoring the supreme court/threatening to impeach, Civil war etc.)
In recent times, the law has either gone fully right wing or is left wing but on shaky ground(depending on the issue).
>There is a growing disconnect between the culture of both coasts and the law of the land, which tends to approximate the real balance of leftish/rightish viewpoints across the entire country.
This is a result of people in the coasts saying they believe in something but not fully meaning it. Therefore they will not fight for it with all their might. The coasts are more populous, generate all the major economic growth, and as you said, control the narrative. Yet the rural areas are known as "Real America™". How is it that the coasts are continuously losing? It cannot be a grand conspiracy. They just don't really want it. With that you can make the argument: Does the left 'really' control the narrative if the action behind that narrative does not really exist?
