Because they're in the same cult.
Not only is conformity encouraged, but deviating from their group norms even slightly is met with suspicion if not outright fear and hostility.
Plus that's what people who are emotionally stuck in adolescence and/or the 80s think looks cool.
I watch some random YouTube videos sometimes, when auto play is on it just plays another random video while i do chores for example. A video owas playing where some guys motorcycle broke down and some random guys helped him. The put it in their barn and worked hard to fix it. In the back was this huge trump 2024 flag just hanging out. To me it's genuinely weird to see. A part ofe thought: "oh no, these people are real and not just on the internet." And how can you be so nice and so fucking stupid at the same time?
Human tribalism at its finest. We really only associate a few hundred people as fully human in our social group at one time.
Take of care of people in your group. People from other groups are less than human and should all be exterminated. It's a highly selected for trait from human evolutionary history.

Outside of the primitive communism of our hunter/gatherer days we’ve never had a society that is free from a ruling class that sows discord and division to protect themselves. I wouldn’t be so sure that tribalism is innately human and not something that we have been conditioned to by millennia of rule by psychopaths.
I agree with you 100%
Hey leave the 80s out of this. Some of us from that time period are not terrible people.
True. I was born during the 80s and thought sunglasses were automatically SUPER cool until well into the 90s myself.
That doesn't make me a terrible and/or extremely cringe person, but never progressing from that does, is my point 😉

Cannot for a moment leave a shred of evidence that he even knows what an attractive man might look like.
What an exhausting existence.
Lol I'd just answer I don't know what any of them look like and go on with my day
