With pins and badges signaling adherence to QAnon or movements like the groypers, right-wing politics have taken on the role of cultural identity for millions of Americans. In this discussion, we will examine how the “Culture War” frames the Left’s struggle to preserve a faltering American democracy and establish a new vision for inclusion and justice that makes meaning of and builds solidarity across identity.
