Left wing politics, regardless of how superficial and stupendous such a category really is in the end, is increasingly driven by fear. An atypical development classically, but common in recent years.
That is true for the right as well, but their neuroticism is more predictable. In any case it will always be a bad advisor. Conservatives convince with their complete inability to deal with anything really. The so called business friendly people protecting the economy from heinous influences seem to have difficulty capitalizing on anything substantial.
Examples for left wing failure are simple. Freedom of speech, generally the ability to discuss political issues with people that disagree, questioning dogmatism... these weren't problems for the classical left, but seem insurmountable problems for the modern audience. Today they are consumers of the "Righteous And Good®" at best.
For Covid/MRNA these fear reactions take their toll. For enternainment the "anti-vaxxer", a side-phenomenon since beginning of time was propped up to be a monster everyone can shortly be indignant about. I am not sure who the larger idiot is here, everyone that touched this pile doesn't look really clean.
