I grew up in the US Midwest in the 50s and 60s. The #JohnBirchSociety signs were everywhere. Mostly along rural roads and state highways, and especially in the UP. They were particularly incensed by fluoridated water. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are the mutant spawn of the Birchers.

...BILLIONAIRES, greedy bankers, and corrupt politicians[!].
If FURTHER left unexposed, the traitors inside the U.S. government [TRUMP & MAGATs] HAVE BEEN betrayING the country's sovereignty to the RUSSIAN FEDERATION AND TO OLIGARCS / BILLIONAIRES to create a New World Order, managed by a 'one-world PLUTOCRACY government'."

Has it crossed your mind, too, that they are using a rhetoric technique out of Goebbel's propaganda playbook, namely that of charging the opposing side with what you are guilty of or about to do?

At the #JohnBirchSociety, they’ve been waging war for more than 60 years against what they’re sure is a vast, diabolical #conspiracy.

The so-called "War on Christmas" (or less sensationally, the #Christmas controversy) is a right-wing demagogic neologism referring to real or imagined secularist attempts to keep the annual December solstice holiday shopping season culturally inclusive. Setting the standard by which all other manufactroversies may be judged, it is most famously hawked each and every year by none other than former Fox News Channel contributor Bill O'Reilly.

Few people, even among those who promote this idea, know that its modern-day form started out as a conspiracy theory promulgated by groups affiliated with the John Birch Society, which termed it the "Assault on Christmas". In 1959, they released a pamphlet called "There Goes Christmas", in which they claimed that there was a new communist plot to "take the Christ out of Christmas" by replacing Christmas decorations with jewish United Nations iconography.
