It's certainly convenient to make the public focus on culture war topics instead of eating the rich. But let's not pretend that they, or the people behind them, don't genuinely dislike trans people, brown people etc. . Like, Trump might actually just not care, but Musk definitely has shown that he is transphobic on top of everything else.
Yep. Precisely because it's easier to punch down than up it's exactly why peeping devices exist. Religious zealots can't see Caesar for Jesus, and worship Caesar instead.

"Culture war" really implies it's two sided, it's really nore of a culture invasion. An attempted culture cleansing? Kind of like ukraine and russia
