Great post. Intertwined in all of this is that they have elevated the Left as the greatest evil on the planet; therefore, no matter what they do to retain power....it's "righteous".
As I understand it, having periodically listened to right-wing talk radio in the days when I had a car and a daily commute - I'm thinking of the zealous Dennis Prager going back to the early 90s - what is so evil about THE Left is they are secular. Lacking Judeo-Christian values, the cultural institutions they dominate will destroy America. Yes, whatever they do, Constitutional or not (JD Vance, I'm looking at you), to stop the Left is righteous.

And yet, the US is "the most devout of all the rich Western democracies" (https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/07/31/americans-are-far-more-religious-than-adults-in-other-wealthy-nations/). How can the US god be both Mammon and the Judeo-Christian God?
Because Mammon is the actual God, Yaweh (in whatever form) is merely a marker of identity.
Good point. Yes.
