[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This Wikipedia article has the most succinct overview of how MAGAs think.

They exhibit the following traits:

- A high degree of submission to the authorities who are perceived to be established and legitimate in the society in which one lives.

- A general aggressiveness, directed against various persons, that is perceived to be sanctioned by established authorities.

- A high degree of adherence to the social conventions that are perceived to be endorsed by society and its established authorities.

There is much more analysis. It is well worth the read:

It's also in their favor that the religion they co-opted already had its own tax-exempt non-profits, a built-in media empire, indoctrination centers (megachurches), and discouraged critical thinking. It doesn't surprise me when I read articles like this one, where a Charlie Kirk AI video about martyrs is being used as Christian Nationalist propaganda in megachurch services:
