From my understanding, JP is actually pretty connected with conservative/right wing politics. Not so much that he is necessarily right wing himself, I wouldn't know, but that he has a large right wing following.
I think they like him for his opposition to political correctness/gender pronouns. His philosophy on masculinity also really appeals to conservatives rebelling against feminism.
