if you're going to write stories, write stories that you as the author think are going to be good. if you try to put limits or conditions on your writing, it will be subpar. maybe this would be good as a writing exercise, but it will not be your best work.
This is the reason why so many woke productions are so bad. it's not necessarily the leftist politics, though that does certainly factor in. it's the fact that they are so concerned about what kind of thing they are writing about instead of what they are writing about. Characters get nerfed, landscapes make no sense, settings feel contrived, all so they can fit their story into this little box that they deem acceptable.
If you set out to write a right-wing story, it may be a cathartic read to those who are tired of woke politics, but it will ultimately be just as trashy.
Just set out to write a good story, however it manifests.
Gurren Lagann: this is a pretty indulgent anime, but it heavily revolves around themes of inner strength and personal freedom, as well as fighting spirit in the face of adversity.
Starship Troopers: while the source material was intended to be a leftist cautionary satire, the movie adaptation does an excellent job at portraying healthy nationalism in my opinion.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (specifically the episodes revolving around Quark): I know, I know,
automated gay space communism
however I think the writers did an excellent job conveying the merits of capitalism and greed through the character quark. often times he is the butt of the joke, but there are several episodes where his philosophy and the ferengi rules of acquisition end up saving the day.

Are you sure you don't have this backwards? The movie seemed like yet another attempt by a Hollywood leftist to satirize extreme nationalists, but everyone in the audience was like "yeah that's awesome!" The book plays it straight and goes into great detail about how a society like that can effectively work.
He's got it right. It portrays it as awesome and badass, even though that wasn't the intention at all.
Also giving it the credit of just "extreme nationalists" is far too kind to Verhoeven. He literally meant it to be "America is fucking actual literal Nazis" the entire time.
