Liked this part:

Particular styles of expressing ideology are used in creating collective action frames used by movements to mobilize support. Styles used frequently by US right-wing movements include:

Dualism
Dualism is a form of binary thinking that divides the world into good versus evil with no middle ground tolerated. There is no acknowledgment of complexity, nuance, or ambiguity in debates; and hostility is expressed toward those who suggest coexistence, toleration, pragmatism, compromise, or mediation. Dualism generates three related processes: demonization, scapegoating, and conspiracism. Demonizing and scapegoating a subordinated “Other” is one way to defend White and male privilege.
