Symbology, magic, supernatural. Looking at crosses, swastikas, an (unopened) book that says “Bible” on the front. Stickers on trucks, flags everywhere, songs they play at rallies when they never actually understand what the lyrics mean.

More proof that they’re all about feels, what a symbol elicits for them, without having to engage in thought. Symbols distill that feel into something compact and thoughtless. Even if it’s just a few numbers. Don’t think. Conform.
