You’re not giving them anywhere near enough credit if you think a super simple strategy of pandering to the uninformed bundled with restricting education is somehow “5D chess”.

Don’t be fooled by all the mouth breathers they trot out to preach their dogma, they’re the rodeo clowns designed to distract you from the matador stabbing us with spears.

I won’t say it’s all cohesive, or that within their ranks there isn’t dissection and in-fighting… but anti-education and pro-righteousness is the baseline that they all follow.
