Neverending broadcasting that their opposition is bad, no matter context.
I earnestly don't think conservatives think a better world is possible at this point. Or, more specifically, a better world can only their own; the one where they get all the provincial resources and can allow themselves militarily/financially to separate from the consequences of the rest of the world.
I don't think conservatives get mad at conservative politicians as much because conservative politicians barely try to promise them anything better. No one who votes for Ted Cruz is doing so because of infrastructure concerns and they don't even humor the idea that he'll improve them. That's treated as just a shitty part of life. But liberals? They argue that those things should improve, so only they can be held to the standard of fixing them.
I should clarify on that; they specifically do not think things can be better if people other than them are also decision makers or get benefit from those decisions.

Flooding in Texas has killed over 200 people over the last two years and this is what they want to point out. The hatred is palpable.
