Actually, no. The right has always prioritised irrational feelings over facts while pretending to do the opposite.
The problem is more that Frankfurt School academia has buried that rather obvious fact under a blizzard of careerist Hegelian blather, which has left it with no response to tribal and irrational (and cynically manipulated) feeling-based "argument".
Race and Gender critiques are perfectly valid, but they're not the only possible critiques, and this seems to have been forgotten.
Certainly the fact that academia hasn't responded effectively to its own forced gig economy casualisation - when it might have a century or so ago - should give pause for thought.
