I mean, you can't really pigeon-hole either side of the spectrum as anti-space or even pro-space. You get lots of liberals who literally see no point in ever exploring space, and others who think that space exploration is just a waste of money that could otherwise be diverted into gibs. But the left also has plenty of "I fucking LOVE science!" types who cheer on spaceflight.
The right has weirdos who think spaceflight is dumb for a lot of weird reasons. I commonly recurring one I see is the "space doesn't real" crowd of people, who range from flat-Earthers to people who don't think rockets can work in a vacuum or the people that think the Van Allen Radiation Belts prevent people from ever being able to go into space... because radiation. A fellow I know of this persuasion uses the term "Stupid Science Bitch" unironically. These ideas aren't exclusive to right-wing beliefs, but the majority of people that I have interacted with who hold these beliefs are also right-wing. I think it has to do with the fact that most people who get balls-deep on conspiracy theories tend to lean pretty hard right because of the who ZOG/NWO side of things. On the same token, there are plenty of right-wing folks who love spaceflight, and want to see colonization start in their lifetimes.

I didn't take this picture (obviously), but Bezos' recovered Apollo 11 bits were sitting behind the nozzle.
