I agree with your point that this has been going on a long time. For example, part of the movement has been trying to overturn the New Deal on since the Great Depression and the very start of FDR’s New Deal.

Some years ago I read an excellent book on this anti-New Deal part of the right wing movement:

Invisible Hands: The Businessmen’s Crusade Against the New Deal Paperback -
by Kim Phillips-Fein

“In the wake of the profound economic crisis known as the Great Depression, a group of high-powered individuals joined forces to campaign against the New Deal―not just its practical policies but the foundations of its economic philosophy.”
