As far as I can tell the rhetoric of the right taps into humiliation of white 
lower to middle class voters, and to racists.   It isn't of any "quality" it is 
just that an audience exists and has a weakness for it.   Even here in the bay 
area, these people can be found on Nextdoor objecting to pretty much any public 
works projects, and any attempt to help anyone.   They have suffered, or so 
they think, and now they want others to suffer.   At the very least they feel 
entitled to see other people suffer and are incredibly envious of the incomes 
of Millennials who make more than they ever made and can and do buy up the 
properties in "their" neighborhoods.    In their minds, the great replacement 
happens, even here.    In my mind, the best thing is to go ahead and get it 
done.

Because Roe is currently being discussed. If there's anything we know about 
people, it's that their attention span is limited. I'm surprised Ukraine is 
still as much of a topic as it is.

This places too much burden on "observations". The rhetoric from the activist 
groups will have to be steady and high quality. Personally, I haven't seen any 
steady, high quality rhetoric from the left in a long time. It's the low 
quality of that rhetoric that's resulted in the relative success of the 
neo-reactionary rhetoric and the exodus of erstwhile liberals into peri-right 
places like https://heterodoxacademy.org/ and https://academicfreedom.org/.

A perfect example of low quality rhetoric is claiming that Gorsuch and 
Coney-Barrett are partisan hacks. (Kavanaugh actually seems to be one. 8^D But 
the other 2 are a little more solidly authentic. No offense intended to hacks. 
I'm one ... just perhaps not as partisan.)
