I would agree with this.

I don't know if insecurity is the most apt description of it necessarily but I'd call it projection of where they're at (more and more polarized).

Typical lefties of today (the alleged "radical" ones) still subscribe to same thing - facts and verifiable information from experts in their fields. This hasn't changed. Whereas righties insinuating such things have bit on crazier and crazier ideas, misinformation and conspiracy theories that formulate their now worldview.

Their whole wacky narrative of antifa being behind January 6th is probably the best example of this projection.
