Nobody ever went right because they were "betrayed" by the left. That's like going gay because of a bad breakup. Most people who legitimately feel betrayed by the left go further left.
What the right does cultivate is false grievance against the left. And this "walkaway" narrative is fake news.
If you're angry with the left and vote right, you ain't left to begin with.
I’m tired of Americans calling left of far right to be left. Left of far right is still right you know.
I will never vote right but some of the leftists I've met irl are the most insufferable cunts you can imagine. Definate difference in people who don't like the status quo and the other who want to impose their "perfect economy system" on everyone with no regard of how that would actually work or look. Like lefty magas
If you pay enough attention, you will notice that the difference between extreme right and extreme left is only in the politics they worship. They are the same.
Remember, the non-extreme on both sides generally want similar outcomes, but seek them through differing ideologies. Both are likely part right and part wrong.
Then there are the other non-extreme ones that have an agenda of self-enrichment and are their own variety of evil.
I personally believe more (not all) of those lean right, but I acknowledge I am influenced by my own political point of view.
The right revolt all the time, maga, the libertarian movement, and the tea party all sent the politicians falling over eachother to try to be what they thought the base wanted.
Republicans fear their voters, democrats despise their voters.
It's more like the actual leftists don't really vote, so the democrats don't cater to them. The corporate wing of the party actively tries to push them out.
If the leftists got organized and started voting out dems in the primary these people would change their tune.
