Hard right: "the extreme right wing of a political or social organization"
Libertarian: "According to common United States meanings of conservative and liberal, libertarianism in the United States has been described as conservative on economic issues (economic liberalism and fiscal conservatism) and liberal on personal freedom (civil libertarianism and cultural liberalism)."
I know a lot of investors who I would describe as "libertarian" as opposed to "hard right".
This crowd didn't "swing" to the hard right. They have been fiscally conservative forever, and now they are just tired of the push to restrict freedom of thought and speech.
In that sense, this group may appear to be moving right but by traditional standards, they have always been there--they have always thought that people should be free to speak and think the way they want. That was literally taught in schools and by parents.
"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me."
If others don't like the speech they do not have to listen--which isolates the speaker and will solve the behavior.
