How does this happen. I would think nerdy stuff like dnd would be full of leftists and the exiles of society

The right are know to take over preexisting communities, I've seen that happen in a few warhammar Facebook groups.

Warhammer appeals to a lot of chuds who aren't in on the joke.

D&D empowers a small group of people to individually gain power and eventually exert outsized influence on intra- and international politics, even entreating with godlike entities.

D&D is just a power-fantasy. Where that fantasy leans (politically/ideologically) is just the GM's setting.

D&D is also popular in the military and overlaps with WH40K players. The Satanic Panic is a distant memory - it's a family activity in community centers.

Zionist propaganda is pervasive and subtle. I fell for it for decades and I'm a leftist.
