    No. Most Americans have blithering incoherent personal politics that amounts to reacting to whatever they last saw on the internet or TV that triggered this anxiety/grievance or another.

    Culture War politics is the ultimate evolution of this chronic American condition. You vote to spite Your Enemy and don't care who your allies are, but you also have no actual idea what Your Enemy stands for because they've been devolved into a comical, cartoonist stereotype in your brain, because you exist on a daily basis submerged in a totalitarian propaganda and cultural landscape of your own choosing.

      Even abortion itself is a bit of a MacGuffin for conservatives. Deep down, they don't actually care about a fetus. They just know getting abortion banned is the ultimate "own" against all the people they don't like.
