MAGA followers are forced into situations where they must rely on their neighbour and mutual aid

That’s the point. Republicans want to get rid of government aid, because they want others to rely on churches or other private charitable organizations - which are able to control and force the normative behavior that conservatives want.

The government can’t say “stop being trans or we’ll cut your section 8 voucher.” But the Salvation Army can say “wear women’s clothes if you don’t want to sleep outside tonight.” Churches can make you sit through their sermon before they feed you.

There’s also the lovely aspect of church finances being a bit more opaque than the governments… sometimes that aid can trickle up…
