"On the right, the grievances seem to revolve around the world changing too quickly."
And you know, that is sometimes a valid grievance. It is very well established within human nature that some people are just naturally resistant to change. The cultural left often doesn't help this either in that they can often jump on the first shiny new object without thinking it through (e.g. Latinx, Defund the Police, decriminalizing illegal border crossings, etc.) and then automatically shame those who are like, "no that's stupid". It's a Facebook video, but Jim Jeffries did a bit on about how the youth are quick to jump on (albeit accurate) accusations of bigotry, without realizing that the person they're going after just recently changed their mind on an issue and became a bit more progressive.

It’s a valid grievance if something is being asked of the people resistant to change. Take for example the most pressing culture war issue, transgender affirming care. It asks nothing of the people vociferously championing legislation that bans care. Yet here they are, citing a theoretical need to protect the children of others! It can be a valid grievance, but in so many instances in today’s discourse, it’s simply about things they don’t like and which don’t have any influence over their lives.
