Well it also helps that the default right wing position, or even a centrist/moderate position is to distrust the government and always assume the government is either 1) incompetent or 2) malicious and only concerned with its own preservation/existence
The left wing SOMETIMES rails against the government, but only if it goes against their views, and they won't hesitate to prop the government up to push their shit if it's ok to do so, even if it increases the power of government or it hurts other people (i.e. advocating for the government to censor free speech, cheering the military industrial complex to continue the war in Ukraine, etc)
Someone on Reddit's r/shitpoliticssays (last bastion of sanity on Reddit) said that one thing leftists have lost the ability to do is think of "second order consequences".
They aren't thinking of what happens in the LONG run when you advocate for something.
Case in point, the retards in Europe who are "Just Stop Oil" activists. To them, completely stopping traffic and stopping the use of oil tomorrow will suddenly fix the world.
They don't recognize that it will also hurt THEM and their family and friends if we ever gave those retards what they want.
