You’re trying to insert cultural undercurrent that doesn’t exist. I know you have some sort of vendetta you’re working through, but try not to let it cloud your judgement.
Im not sure why you’re so intent on dismissing culture as a relevant context to the rise of MAGA. Most political scientists agree that Trump marked a notable shift and a deviation from political norms and assumptions from pre-2012 politics. Even insisting on the ‘religious right’ doesn’t explain Trump’s popular appeal at a point in time when religious participation in the US is at an all-time low. Seems to me like it might be you with a vendetta, since your explanation seems to boil down to ‘religious bigots are dumb’

I dont have any kind of vendetta, it’s an extremely well known analysis of current US affairs

lol. If you can’t do better than “no you” you might want to just stop.
