The problem is - where are the right-liberals? Trump has pushed them all out, or forced them to forsake their beliefs. There's nobody to ally with there. And not just in Congress either, see also the way Big Tech has largely shuffled in behind him, knowing that they have to come inside the tent or face being destroyed.
The left-utopians are the only allies left with any institutional power.

I think this is true at the moment, but things are still in flux. Eventually this is a critical constituency and I wouldn't be surprised if they become a backbone of a rising movement and major party in the days to come.
First the utopians demonized us and drove us into a (fragile) alternate media ecosystem, then Trump destroyed anyone who crossed him, which either deplatformed or silenced us.
If the left-liberals can reach out to us, we're still here. For now, struggling for oxygen. I'm still hoping we can come up for air again when Trump goes away.
