I don't think conservatives or liberals particularly like other cultures.
I mean I've had pricks yell me and my party down for speaking a foreign language in public. And In my town I've had people protest and intrrupt any expression of diversity from queer pride events to driving a truck into the Mosque and harassing Tibetan Buddhist monks.
But the liberal embracings of culture are half bullshit as well. Like wearing Lakota war bonnets to a pipeline protest. Or offering an "alternative" Thanksgiving that includes Native American dishes like frybread and Native American movies. Or T-shirts with Tibetan Buddhist and Hindu religious symbols.
Seems from both sides the dislike or the embracing of a culture is all along political and social fault lines.
Like the haters and lovers are all showcasing Muslims and Latin Americans. Strangely the Congolese and Mideastern Christian refugees in my community are fucking invisible. But I can buy MAGA hats, hats with confederate flags... and spirit hoodies, shirts with Durga on them...
