Will Hutton has a long piece about the similarities between the Tory right and their American equivalents https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jan/08/americas-taliban-20-republicans-have-the-same-roots-as-our-brexit-spartans It's a bit meh though. He just says they want less government and fewer services, so they wreck everything. If I'd written it I'd try to explain the root cause. Perhaps it's a by-product of the gulf between rich and poor. The rich are just complacent and selfish and want to cut the poor adrift. The attitude is that if you don't have money you don't matter. The haves have a blind spot about the unlucky.
