Yeah, there was an interesting article posted in this thread or one of its predecessors (couldn't find it through a quick search) about how grievance politics are much more reliable for driving turnout than positive sentiments. While hatred of Obama, for example, wasn't enough to unseat him in 2012, it did lead to 8 years of Republicans dominating down-ballot races, until hatred of Trump did the same for Democrats in 2018.
