Anyone dealing with "conservatives" IRL know that they come from a cesspool of dog whistles, religious fundamentalism, and invented victim complexes. Personally, I have had several ugly experiences with people like that in the dev community, usually by so-called Libertarians, who don't seem to have read anything outside high-school level Ayn Rand nonsense, and who've confused understanding Software with overall smartness.

Codes of conduct are useful because they give a community the tool set for preventing the warping that these people cause on their surroundings.

Conflating all your political opponents with each other, showering them in boo words and denying their self-identification is hardly any better. It's worth taking the time to understand what people who disagree with you actually believe. If what you say here reflects your actual beliefs, then you simply believe falsehoods.

Putting aside that the referent of "these people" is unclear (and that I've seen many other people branded bigots simply for using analogous language), I have no idea what "warping" you have in mind. Lunduke is not advocating for the injection of any kind of political ideology into any open source project, nor into the teams that work on them. He is, in fact, advocating for the polar opposite of that.
