While "outgroup" can technically just mean anyone the speaker doesn't identify with, applying it to the party in power creates a false equivalence. It frames the criticism as mere tribalism or bullying, rather than a legitimate response to the actions of those currently in power.
It’s hard to get behind the classification of the most powerful political movement in the country as a marginalized or "othered" group in this, or any context, really.
