I'm fairly confident right-wing populism makes a ton of money for lobbyists, politicians, media pundits, podcasters, political strategists, public sector consultants, law enforcement types, and general pawns of the cause. Things like insurrections, marches, rallies, and convoy protests all feed that beast.
There's a ton to unpack there in terms of culture wars and collateral profits.
