First past the post voting has given the two party duopoly a death grip on American politics. People generally have a latent party, and ascribe anything that they disagree with as part of the opposing political camp. To answer your question, someone in the blue tribe (latent Democrat) will see the big-business-supreme legal regime and blame it on overwhelming right-leaning politics. Meanwhile someone in the red tribe (latent Republican) will look at the same freedom-destroying laws and their poor outcomes, but lay the blame at overwhelming leftism. In reality, the grassroots of both parties want similar things, but are herded into violent disagreement by the corporate-sponsored political machine.
(This isn't to say the two parties are the same, especially post ~2018. Just that the main dynamic is very similar)
