Lots of folks on the far right would agree with elements of his manifesto.
The same could be said of Ted Kaczynski by partisans on both the left and right of the political spectrum.
Gary Wright, a victim of one of the Unabomber’s IEDs, finds some congruency in the ideas Kaczynski:
quote:
.…For years after his attack, Wright had pondered the bomber’s motivation. In 1995, he received an answer in the form of a 35,000-word manifesto that Kaczynski successfully pressured the New York Times and Washington Post into publishing, on the promise that he would stop killing if they did so.
Entitled “Industrial Society and Its Future”, the essay laid out Kaczynski’s nightmarish vision of humanity in an ever tightening embrace with technology that promised comfort and convenience, but left us enfeebled and alienated. “I got a copy,” says Wright. “And I was like: OK, this is not my style of reading. I would periodically glance [at it].”
Yet over the years, something unexpected happened. Wright began to grow suspicious of the creeping reach of technology. And he became increasingly curious about Kaczynski’s ideas.
“I can look at [the manifesto] and see a lot of value in saying that we have mental health issues because of social media, or gaming, or pick a thing. He kind of warned against that. He also talked about the value of being in nature, which I one thousand percent believe in…” says Wright….
I don’t think this is an example of Stockholm Syndrome but more an indication that though violently insane, many of Kaczynski’s criticism of our increasingly technological society were undeniably true.

It seems so. Yet here is the thing: there is a lot of overlap in what the Bernie Bro Left and the MAGA Right say is ailing this country.
Now where they primarily differ obviously is in their ideological solutions to these problems. Yet setting oneself ablaze as a political “solution” may also be an indicator of the differences.
The primary God of Leftists is government and if they come to the conclusion that their God is irredeemably corrupted, it could lead to despair and despondency. Yet those who put their ultimate faith in a higher reality than our fallen world are less likely to succumb to such a mindset.

And how, exactly, is this Trump's fault (as the media is screaming)?
Did he ask this DA to prosecute this case? Pretty sure he didn't.
