The belief system of the kind of Christianity Johnson's supporters espouse — largely white and evangelical but with many fellow travellers in other religious groups like white Catholics and Mormons — positively needs enemies, demonized others, to maintain its claims to righteousness. Those enemies are there as foils, to prove that I and my kind are the good, the holy, the righteous.
I have a right to denounce and target them because I am good.
