The right is telling white men that they’re special and “others” are taking their jobs and opportunities.
I think that’s sort of the point. If “everything is the fault of X white men” is something that’s just simply demoralizing. I mean, imagine being constantly blamed for the world’s ills. To the hear that they’re special makes them feel like they’re finally recognized and valued, as much as that feeling may betray them. So essentially, all this talk about them being the cause of everything has made them ripe for the picking by propaganda.
Congratulations, you found the problem. It’s easier to say “all white men should die” than “these rich and powerful individuals that made society worse should die”. Guess what happens when you take the easy route all the time.

No individual is being blamed for anything… well, maybe a handful are…

It ain’t just rich and powerful white dudes, though.
A whole lot of incels, for example, could use a wood chipper.
I mean I disagree with you calling it propaganda but yes that’s my point. Why would they stay with a party that demoralizes them.
