This is kinda disconnected from the reactions of right wingers. Most of them are happy right now to "burn it down". Which has been a lot of the reason that many people have supported trump from the start. Sure, they misdirect their anger towards the wrong people. But they haven't felt the effects of the tariffs yet. Most of them are just enjoying seeing the stock market drop.

I tried watching some fox in an attempt to understand the other perspective but I just don't, my summary of the 15 minutes of fox was.

Show clip of democrat politican giving normal speech, not bad not great just a boilerplate speech.
Proclaim the event was sad and embarassing for that politician without really saying why.
Claim said politician has certain negative view on subject that was never even mentioned in the clip.
Rapid fire multiple more strawmans of things the person in the clip never said or even mentioned.
Claim they're also biassed by bringing up tangentially related event that happened when the republicans were in fact the ones in power.

That's because they are catastrophically stupid people.
