And it's mostly just a desperate return to 90's liberal normalcy. Crime's bad. Immigration should be restricted. Taxes should be "fair". No one's actually asking for or seeking out properly anti-Liberal (philosophically) propaganda. Most people are at least comforted by basic bitch American Nationalism, and the frustrated ones are happy to be told that there are anti-woke options out there.
The pent up demand is in absolutely basic normie attitudes, not reactionary ones.
That still doesnt really help the people who want to make Hollywood and video games into their own personal bullhorn of ideology though.

Or better still, the propaganda is tested by the inherent nature of videogames: interactivity and open choice.
Hence, why there were vidoes of Red Dead Redemption players beating up 1st Wave Feminists, and Fortnit players throwing tomatoes at BLM lectures.
