> It’s the story of two sides.. American artists and the religious right

That is such a simplification that is just a lie. The two sides are capital and the working class. Because their interests are opposite of each other. There are religious people that are very progressive. There are artists that are far-right. Why create artificial groupings when the economic reality and power dynamics are there for everybody to see.

"Culture wars" is always about keeping people distracted and hide the class war. I have more in common with a right-wing religious working class man that with any progressive billionaire.
