Not necessarily a contradiction there. Grand narratives recursively contain smaller subcultural ones all the way down to individual. But there most certainly are levels of narrative consensus above individual. It is belief in only the individual layer that's platonic.

Is this a theory on why Qanon took off with boomers?

I think that's more complex. It's not a grand narrative so much as the shadow of one.

I wouldn't map it so directly to votes though. Most of the time, even if your candidate doesn't win, you don't switch from light to dark or vice versa. It's the rare election on which dark/light rides.

a "consensus technology" like a blockchain is similar to a grand narrative, integrating potentially billions of individual histories, without the need for a memeplex as a lowest common denominator
