The right is happiest when it is optimistic. The left is happiest when they are trying to stop the Armageddon du jour. So while the left is waving its pride or Ukrainian flag while eating bugs so that we all don't die from climate change, the right is convinced some major victory is just around the corner so no need to worry.

An incomplete list:

no need to worry about the left's victories because gun owners are going to team up with the military and police to take back the country.

No need to worry because Q says to trust the plan.

No need to worry about the election being stolen because Trump is going to cross the Rubicon.

No need to worry about Russia because the minute that ground freezes Russia is going to launch a blitzkrieg to kill the remaining dozen or so Ukrainian soldiers that they haven't already killed.

Again, all Americans understand is sports and Hitler. If you're not spouting a "WE'RE WINNING" or "(insert bad guys here) are getting DESTROYED" narrative, you must be one of them. No real room for rational pragmatism.
