MODERATORS
The short: Propaganda works.
The slightly longer: Tell them that whatever groups are getting the blame for all the ills of the world are a danger to them. e.g. the whole trans bathroom controversy, decades of painting colored people as predators. Throw in some religiously-motivated "abortion is murder". On that note, US churches have kinda been doing half the work for MAGA.
The sad thing is there was an active effort to corrupt the churches after they got a little too socialist for National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) liking in the early 1900s and supply side Christianity was born. Ronald Reagan elected directly out of that movement funded by NAM.
