Conservatives Christians really think this image of Jesus is about him going into the temple to throw out all the woke they/them liberals using the lord's house to eat avocado toast and complain about climate change or some shit

How conservative christians became the greatest opponent of environmentalism will likely forever remain a mystery for me. If there is one thing worth conserving it would be gods creation surely?
Same way they can look at the metaphor for capitalists are destined for hell a la stuffing a camel through the eye of a needle unharmed - by choosing to interpret the eye of a needle to actually mean a gate arch or some shit.
Instead of changing yourself to follow the beliefs in the word of your God, you change your God's words to follow your beliefs.
Well, on the one hand, you have an old book you might read all the way through once (but probably not) that says to be responsible stewards of the earth. But on the other hand, you have people on the TV every night telling you to support whatever makes corporations the most money.
Old ideas can have value but it's hard to compete with new ideas when those new ideas have a lot more money and can be crafted to appeal to a specific audience (regardless of what's true).

There was a study linked around somewhere in the last few days that said that political ideology was a greater factor in people's religious choices than the inverse.

You missed the part where they said, "No I don't, but I'll ruin your life if you teach it!"
It's only taught in higher ed, so this clearly didn't happen. /s
I hate humans. We're so fucking stupid it hurts.
And people wonder why so many people hate being in public..

"Conservative Christian" is and oxymoron but having never read any Jesus, its easy to identify that way.
First of all you don't become a conservative Christian by being willing to read. So lets imagine DeSantis misspoke and said "The only way to ensure that Trump can violate The Constitution and overthrow our democracy is to read the New Testament and understand it"
Here are some probable outcomes:
- They see that Jesus is a leftist and can no longer call themselves Christian, when asked their religion they say "none, atheiest".
- They see that Jesus is a leftist and conclude that the bible was simply written by leftists and that it isn't true.
- They see that Jesus has good ideas, unconsciously redefine what conservative means to them, and stay quiet until someone they considerd a friend angrily calles them a libtard for stating one of jesuses teachings in disagreement of something thet had repeated from facebook.
- They see that Jesus is a leftist, they trust in their lord choosing his love and reason over the hatred and fear of man and can no longer call themselves a conservative.
- They conclude that Pontius Pilate and the Roman government where the good guys and Jesus was an evil libtard who earned his crusofiction and they start worshoping Pilate instead.
- The whole thing goes over the readers head
- They strengthen their belief by ignoring parts that clearly don't fit their belief, and twisting anything that can kind of fit their beliefs.
