Is rightwing ideological narcissism? People like Jordan Peterson have been working to define narcissism in the left as being an activist of sorts in that the assumption is that they don't truly believe in their cause, there isn't a logical way to disagree with an establishment or criticism of it to exist, so it must be that they only are activists as an accessory. It relies heavily on mind reading, but also your level of confidence in what you believe. When the left is criticized in that way, it comes from a place of disagreement becasue rightwing activists aren't classified the same way. Or maybe they believe the correctness is beside the point, the motive, the reason to take action, is purely self promotional.
To arrive at those conclusions relies on logical leaping and assumptions, you put in work. On the right, it's as simple as pointing out that they keep voting for Trump. Is Trump a narcissist? Why does that not ever enter their conversions on the topic? The answer is that to them, the narcissist diagnosis was just a means to an end; not engaging with the substance of what's being supporter or opposed and instead address the motives of why anyone would take that stance and focus on that.
