People have often accused conservatives of self-sabatoge.

The summer of love combined with covidimania was the greatest PR win for the right in 70 years and possibly one of the greatest unforced errors in political history, and all the right needed to do was not act like similarly petulant children.

If you want to now why there's now a right wing government in italy, in argentina, in belgium, why there's a track to one in Canada, why the labour party in the UK is suddenly stealing conservative taking points, why it's presently looking like Donald Trump will be the next president in the US, that's why.
