I have been seeing it too. I’m guessing it’s because of Andrew Tate’s conversion and the recent controversies surrounding the World cup that occurred in Qatar. I’m guessing many conservative Christians (and even sane liberals who aren’t woke extremists) are tired of being bullied by the leftists wokes and having to be so unapologetic so when they see a tiny country like Qatar double down and defend their laws against the media onslaught, they’re looking at them for inspiration and thinking to themselves “why can’t we fight back just like them.”
This is just my guess and I may be wrong.
