I haven’t seen any republicans here so I’ll also offer my opinion as a sane person ….
-
Narcissism. There is only me, and other. There are no allies, it’s all about me. Right here. Right now.

Bullying. Trump styles himself as a great negotiator but from the outside it looks a lot more like bullying. And if you believe his commitments, you’re a sucker. He thinks this is “making deals” but is the only way he knows how to operate

I would say maybe it’s something else in that a large portion of their base globally does not see leftist aligned government powers as allies

Vague terms though that makes it easy to think you’re right and they’re wrong. The divide though is that both right and left have different understanding of what is being exploited and what are basic human Rights
