I think (not being familiar with any of the above except for Karen[1]) you're mentioning US-specific culture war items which are orthogonal to the subject of the book, which are the sort of beliefs that lead "high RWA" followers to violently punish those their leaders have branded as Other.

The book has to do more with the sort of 1940's beliefs that built and staffed Treblinka, or the sort of 1950's beliefs that lynched Emmett Till, or the sort of 1970's beliefs that led to people being pushed out of helicopters, than to the sorts of beliefs to which I believe you refer.
