I don't know anything about this TES drama. I do know, though, that threads on this site aren't pro-Republican as much as they're anti-leftist. People see the agenda the left pushes in everything, the fearmongering, and thinks it's a load of rubbish. Hating B isn't supporting A, it's just hating B.
It gets more conflicted when anything not seen as completely pro-left is considered fully supportive of conservatives. Don't want the vaccine or mandates? Immediately alt-right. Don't want to teach kindergardeners about sex? Alt-right.
