It's amazing how eager the reactionary right are to swallow all the available black pills in the vicinity.

If you ask me, its because a lot of them are ethno-nats or other "right wing authoritarian" types who want their own state of control, and are upset because what they are finding happening is not people losing faith and going to their ideology. Instead, they are going back to their roots and wanting back freedom, liberty, and the American Way. And they hate that because they thought that people would come into their arms running away from the Commies on the Left.

Also, I do wonder if there is some jealousy. Because while they are complaining about the "unstoppable march of the Left" and how we are all doomed unless we go start shooting Leftist in the street like we are all in the Freikorp. While no one was looking Trump Populist types have been taking over local and state level political positions. Which I think is part of the reason you are seeing so much more fight and general "refuse to die" attitude at the State level that isnt there at the Federal level. But based on how the nation works, it will (eventually) work its way up the ladder.
