I don't see the political climate shifting hard right.
Twitter un-banning Trump isn't an indicator of a political climate shift, although perhaps a social shift, or perhaps simply a one-off random Elon shift.

Supreme court repealing Roe v. Wade, Don't say gay bill, restrictions of voter rights, denial of 2020 election loss among top leaders in the GOP, the list goes on...
Not to even to mention the likelihood of conservatives gaining control of the senate and perhaps house in the midterms. This is what a hard right political climate shift looks like.
So, the unbanning is a response to this perceived shift - to get in good with the guys will soon be in power.
I agree with that. But what is happening now isn't the traditional conservatism of 'low taxes, small government'. Look what happened to Liz Chenney, a traditional conservative if anybody can be called one, when she dared to claim Biden won the election.
Liz Cheney belongs to the neoconservative wing of the GOP just like her father and both of the Presidents Bush. All had no compunction with growing the size of government when it came to their policy of regime change abroad.
She didn't get censured for her spending or foreign policies, but because she dared to say out loud that Biden won the election and that the Jan.6 insurrection was a bad thing.
