I'm not sure how it is now but I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes more conservative in the future. Demographically rich old white men in isolated communities tend to be conservative.

Even if there isn't, support for right wing politics for purely financial reasons is still worrying.

It's not "support for right wing politics", it's pushing for a few specific issues. And a grand total of $3.6M combined is peanuts.

None that I'm aware of. Keep in mind that the author, Thomas Edsall, is very much a staunch partisan having written books like "Building Red America"
