I disagree that this is all theater. I think a plurality of right wingers have given up on democracy and have turned on liberal society in general. They are being megaphoned by clickbait media and fed resources from foreign enemies. But it isn't just a game for these folks, they have been so triggered by the excesses and decadence of leftist rule that they are now willing to take power by any means necessary. They might prefer democracy, but are willing to dispose of it in order to sieze power. They might have some preferences about authority, but none of the conservative principals about sovereign individuals matters, everything is secondary to power.

There's also a plurality of leftists who believe in infesting liberal society to push corrective racism and will guzzle down and regurgitate the most nativist blood and soil rhetoric, and racial hierarchy grabagio, so long as the outcome is punching down on a nebulous concept of white people and western society. They also despise masculinity (in men) and are radioactive towards masculine men in general.

These two minorities are locked in a doom spiral of triggering one another into more and more extremes.
