You almost said it. Religion. Not all religion (I’m not an atheist) but their religion has them primed to hate and hurt the “other,” anyone whom they believe will soon be burning in hell. Their “lump” has been leavening for a long time.
Granted, the lgbtq-etc made a severe strategic error in trying to force their difference on those deeply convinced that they are perverts. Tolerance is supposed to work both ways, and trying to force people to celebrate the difference didn’t go over well. Created implacable enemies blinded by wrath. Egged on by preachers (con artists) who see opportunity to take power.
Mass hypnosis? Mind control by repetition? A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump....
