I think it's nihilism from that type as well, but there's not really much of a cure for it when every source of meaning has been stripped from a large demographic. I also think it helps to explain the QAnon bunch as well since it gives them some source of meaning.
Of course, that's not necessarily all that different from people who make "social justice" and being "woke" as their entire identity because they have no meaning from anything else.
When people talk about politics being the new religion, they aren't joking, but it gets at the same thing. These groups from both "sides" are getting the same thing from their respective sources of bullshit.
