You made it clear you like Nolan's chart more than mine, so why do you comment on this one?

I have made it clear many times that pure theocracy is against nationalism, wanting to make the world one kingdom of God. See Wahhabism or medieval Catholicism. And pure nationalism is against theocracy, e.g. Hitler did not think much of the Vatican, and many SS officers despised the Bible as a Jewish book. In the Arab world nationalists like Saddam are typically quite secular according to the region's standard. At this point it is clear you decided that it doesn't matter for you.

Trumpism makes sense on some other level, though. They just view selfishness as a virtue, both on personal (Yellow) and collective (Brown) level. This is however completely alien to Blue. I cannot imagine Osama bin Laden championing for a "virtue of selfishness".

In a Marxist view, Blue is feudal, Brown and Yellow are both capitalist, Purple is probably also capitalist, and Red is of course the path to glorious communist future.

Quote:Although the feminist/woke cancel culture left-wing intellectuals may be opposed to porn for violating women's rights and using them as commodities etc., right-wing Trump followers are also against porn because it violates evangelical religious theological mores. Trump personally doesn't really care about either of those, but he positions himself as a political champion of the religious right, and gets their overwhelming support.

Randroids despise Evangelicalism and Christianity in general as much as feminism and political correctness. Of course online millennial Trumpkins also can hate feminism and PC for wanting to "cancel" porn, but I agree both put together are less numerous than old Evangelicals.
