Maybe something about gold being

Old-fashioned, like they did before everything went woke
Easy to understand. If gold is money then I have one money if I have one gold. On the surface a gold standard seems much more straightforward than the web of debt backed by vibes that is fiat currency.
Gives a feeling of independence and self-sufficiency. If I have good it can't be touched by inflation or the evil gubmint (it absolutely can, but it feels like it can't).
Fertile soil for grifts. There are people who make good money selling gold to chud goldbugs.
The thing the liberal (((elites))) running the financial system doesn't want.
