Great article and once again thanks for the coverage. I heard a great saying at a town hall once, “It’s not that people are afraid of change, it’s they are afraid it will change them”. That resonates with me in regards to the people that are attracted to someone like JBP. They may feel that if they accept anything different that the way they live they are somehow becoming it.

It's quite an insightful axiom. What JBP does so well is to frame opposition to social change as progressive, instead of conservative — i.e. by stopping the woke mobs, we'll enable greater social progress. It's not necessarily, like Christian fundamentalists argue, an appeal to a simpler time.
