For sure, but let's not fall into the Naomi Klein trap and assume that the right can only take power through force and maintain it through torture. Though the sun might be setting on them now, the right won a series of electoral victories over the last 25 years in Britain, the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, India...and managed to turn previously leftish parties into milder versions of themselves. How did they do this?
