Jim’s version of a white, Christian America that idealizes capitalists (for example, him) has lost favor in the cultural marketplace, and people who espouse racist, misogynistic or bigoted views now face consequences they didn’t before (which they call censorship). A multicultural society forces their children to learn more than the historical myths on which their purported superiority was constructed (which they call indoctrination).
They are victims, forever and always. Jim is promising to avenge his victimhood by imposing his cultural norms on everyone else — in the name of freedom — and maintaining the socioeconomic caste system that has fostered the greatest level of inequality in a century.
That is the Republican Party’s 2022 platform. It’s also a gift to Democrats — if they can figure out how to use it.
