Not that anon, but it absolutely does. The American Right has been running on aggrievement politics for the past decade or so.
>White people are being genocided due to immigrant displacement and birth rate inequalities
>Christians are the only oppressed religion in the world and the secular Left is trying to destroy us
>Gay and trans people are grooming/converting/raping your children

>Mainstream media is pushing a WOKE agenda and that's why you feel ostracized from the public at large
The American Right ran on opposing things rather than being for anything for a while now. What did they actually want? It's impossible to tell other than wanting to stop Wokeism. Every time the American Right takes over the government, they pretend to be about balancing the deficit and making cuts, but they always balloon the deficit. They've talked about pulling back from the global stage with their military and keeping the money at home, but have stayed the course and increased military budget by 150B this year.
The American Left suffers from massive fractionalization. The DNC's power comes from trying to grab and group many disparate "wronged" groups under the same umbrella as "Democrats" while, as people pointed out, what the "Left" is has a massive spectrum with most of its voter base sitting somewhere center-right in terms of global politics. So it makes sense that they unite more around what they don't want than what they want because the groups barely agree on anything. A lot of conservative critique of the American Left is that it's a purity test, and that's not wrong when you have different parts of the Democratic base being culturally dominant and that becomes the new standard for being "a leftist" in America.
Whatever becomes the culture war battleground du jour becomes a way to oust people for both sides.
