From my experience, people on the right seem more likely to be single issue voters. Like you have your pro-gun people who care primarily about that one issue and may not have strong views about abortion, gay marriage, immigration, etc. and vice versa. This leads to a hodge podge of views.

Whereas on the left there seems to be a more uniform ideology revolving around empathy & equality. Things like expanding healthcare, education, labor rights, LGBT rights, drug reform, etc. all fit into a cohesive idea of lifting up the working class, those in need & marginalized groups.

In my view, the right is a coalition of groups who have their own specific grievance while the left is a coalition of groups trying to create equality.

This very much! There are people who will hate 90% of Trumps Policies, despise the tarrifs (or be ignorant to them) but vote for him in over something singular like Immigration
