That's always the funny one to me. People ignore the Kochs, yet this whole nationwide uproar over CRT is an absolute astro-turf job by them. The issue is that the right and left use different tactics. About a decade ago, a study found a correlation in the difference of the brains of conservatives and liberals. Right leaning folks responded more to fear motivation, left leaning more to morality. This is why the right always has to create a boogey man for their base. It's what they rally to.
Note, this is correlation, not causation. This doesn't entirely determine your political ideology, and it may not determine anything, but the two parties strategize their messaging based on this sort of thing.
