Isn't this more of a conflation of conservative policies with the nation itself? That is, if one supposes from Eastman & conservatives' perspectives that conservative policies more accurately represent the nation, then their waning popularity in favor of liberal/leftist policies is the so-called "existential threat".
Of course, the problem then becomes that the "solution" is essentially a seizing of power and the diminishment and outlawing of any oppositional policies and ideologies, which one may increasingly observe across various states' passage of laws.
This is what they mean by all the "real American" rhetoric. It's a rhetorical shortcut to ignore the increasing popularity of economic and social policies they don't like and declare the ones they do like are the only ones that count.
