Interesting article and theory. It also explains how the MAGAs can regard 'woke' attitudes as a negative when empathy, inclusiveness and social conscience, which those anti-woke ideologists are counter to, are essentially backbone philosophies for many mainstream Christian religions.

I think it comes down to being able to somehow hold two opposing views at the same time.
Their religion tells them to help others, & also tells them to kill their enemies.
Humans are weird & we can apparently get ourselves to believe anything at all.
