You do, unfortunately, have to give some of it to Will Stancil, because the vibes argument is also supported by data at this point. I think it's a classic case of anchoring, where the reason some sentiment indicators break after 2020 is that people want 2019 back. www.jezebel.com/consumer-sen...

An example of how Trump is a vehicle for grievances because everyone driven by resentment projects onto him. A leftist like AOC feels America is beautiful and wants to improve it. A crank leftist likes the idea of destroying America, but is totally powerless, therefore they approve of Trump doing it

The theory of power that says conservatives as a whole, and young right-wing men in particular, are victims repressed by the left-wing forces dominating society is, in a word, insane.
It cannot possibly be addressed, because it's not true. It's just rationalization for hatred and hurting others.

The New Right's Theory of Power is Insane
It is simply not true that radical leftists took over all major institutions and use them to crush the right, and mainstream figures should stop being afraid to say so
