I see them as basically leaning super hard into white man's burden type racism and imperialism except they've replaced it with american and western capitalist burden so it's less obviously racist and they can feel even more smug and superior to the rest of humanity

The theoretical roots of the US political divide goes back to: "We should kill all the natives because they're racially inferior" vs "As a progressive, the natives are only culturally inferior, and if we destroy their culture and force them to adopt ours at gunpoint, we can make them civilized." Underneath it all, that's who they each are.
