While I see where you are coming from, I don't think this is a pattern of thinking that applies only (or primarily) to right wingers but rather to political radicals of all sorts. We see similar bullshit coming from the far left with "all straight white males are oppressors" and similar statements. Might also be a result of social media echo chambers, who knows...
It definitely happens with extremists on both sides, but I think it's much more common on the right. Like, I encounter it on streets all the time from the right. I recently had a "climate change doesn't exist because a day was cool last week" conversation with someone on the fourth-straight record high day in a row.
Might also be because there are more radical right wingers than left wingers where you live
