Probably because they understand culture WAY better than average Republicans, at least those in office definitely.
Those Republicans position themselves as a reaction to the left if they aren't uniparty and dismiss Anime as cartoons and gaming as frivolous.
The Anime enjoying Republicans understand how stories are VERY important to changing the ideas and culture of the public at large as well as introducing concepts. You got everything from AoT, FMA, Gundam, Evangelion, Spice and Wolf etc exploring concepts in an engaging way than just droning on at you like you're stuck in a class or in the most boring sermon. You'll get more people to accept family values by watching Anime (Praise Abe) than having some old Republican drone at you.
Well, yes, because small towns were the norm, not cities, and the Church was not just the centrepiece of the town, it was also how people got together and socialized once a week. Even when it came to cities, you had your neighbourhood churches/"parishes". Even if you didn't give a shit about the stories, old people liked to see their friends, and as a kid you got brunch and maybe a drive out in the country afterwards.
But as cities grew, and became more "diverse", that started to break up once you have different "denominations", never mind religions.
As it is, we used to more or less know the same books, and watch the same movies and TV shows. The very forces that want to homogenize humanity is causing it to fracture even more than might have happened naturally. We don't have to watch Hollywoke propaganda, we can watch something else instead, maybe made by some nobody somewhere no one knows.
They also understand beauty, and how it can influence people. For good or for ill, sure - but I'd rather have explicit fanservice than shapeless, genderless tumbler-blobs.
Anime and manga both are focused very much on beauty. I could take pages from Blame! and 'A Young Bride's Tale', frame them, and they'd probably receive high accolades.
It ain't just Japan, ALL of Asia still understands beauty
Look at the women in Korean Manhwa and Chinese Manhua, they are all VERY beautiful unless they are the old disgusting villian stereotypes and same for men as they tend to go fir the stoic handsome muscular man archetype.
Did notice there is a lot of focus on the hourglass sizable booty types with both, look up the Korean Reality Quest and the Chinese I am the fated villian to prove my point.
The average republicans seem to be reactionaries who are in politics to "play for a team" without thinking about actually leading society's culture at large.

"In the Beginning, was the Narrative"
All cultures are based on stories.
For example, religion, conservatism was A LOT stronger when you had communities focused around a church than current climate.

Korea has the worst birth rate in the world.
Having a feminist cult in charge for years does that..

To be fair, that's the majority of both bases. It's just that the left have fancy slogans and more mouthpieces shouting their slogans.
The left also have open corporate backing from the biggest players.
American politics is a football game.
I don't like football, so this tracks.
