You have it pretty much nailed. But other organizations have joined in and helped the right wing for many decades. Many churches support all kinds of right wing, violent groups. Many protestant churches supported the KKK. The republican party sheltered the KKK. The Catholic church has its own right wing issues including aiding the Nazis during WW2 which is doubly confusing as many priests and nuns went to the death camps.
