OK, so I've noticed three subtypes of right-wingers and far right-wingers. First, there are the "regular" right-wingers (also known as "conservatives"; "Boomers"; "normies", etc.) They tend to be evangelical Christians and very supportive of Israel. Secondly, there are the first sub-category of far-right wingers; those who notice the high level of Jewish involvement in government; media, etc., and they discuss what all of that means, typically deciding that it is a negative thing (i.e. do not support Israel or at least not "Zionism"). Then there's a second category of far-right wingers; those who do everything the first subcategory does, but ALSO take it further and decide that Christianity itself is an example of Jewish influence, and that they'd rather follow the pagan traditions of their ancestors.
What do you think tips the balance for those who go all the way to this third "tier"? And in reverse, what would hold someone on the second tier back from deciding that if Jews run A,B, and C; perhaps they also run/ran D (early and modern Christianity)? It seems to me that logically, once someone accepted the premises of the second tier, that they'd have more in common with the third tier people than the first tier people.
I find it all very fascinating. I didn't even realize how much discussion goes on around Israel until my mid-30's. (Although I did wonder, in my mid-20's, why my Boomer generation evangelical church-mates at the time were so gung-ho about Israel. I always wondered, Why Israel? Why not, say, England?)
