Having watched it from the start, I believe the initial motivation, though couched in "no one loves the conservatives anymore!" rhetoric, was an attempt to gee up a bloc vote to keep minorities and allies in their place. I don't believe it was hijacked at all, I think it's just on course. It is thankfully not gaining an enormous amount of support, though enough to push other deserving (IMO) nominees off the ballot.
