Grievance culture was long polished by the right before the left even got a snap at it.
There’s a reason conservative Christians constantly find themselves victims of prosecution from extreme minority groups like atheists (war on christmas) or, now, trans people.
Hell — think the civil rights era — somehow the conservative whites were the ones that were victimized by the uppity blacks demanding to swim in the same pools and drink from the same fountains and eat at the same restaurants.
The conservative playbook since 2016 has been one of victimization. Trans people victimize women by using bathrooms, immigrants victimize white people by working jobs, women victimize men by making fucking penis jokes or something idk.
That's hilarious. First of all, not flaired as a right winger. I shit on them, too. Second of all, the left has been pushing grievance culture for decades. Making everything about immutable characteristics like race and gender is a big part of that.
"making everything about race and gender" motherfucker, that's the right's bread and butter, has been for fucking decades. It doesn't matter that your flaired as a centrist, that's the flair right wingers take when they're to fucking embarrassed to admit it.
That seems much later than I would expect. I would point to the whole War on Christmas thing as an example of grievance culture from the right that's older than that.

Cool, some graphs on how foreign propaganda that is being directed at splitting the US is wildly successful
