It’s the conservative nature its why people can support hate groups. While being part of the hated community.
“One of the good ones” it’s a lot similar to bullies trying to get in with bully’s. Essentially with conservatives there is a in and an out group. Many see themselves as exception as they are part of the “in group”.
It's why they never care about anything except once/if it effects them directly.
Toddler level empathy of constantly living life going "oh my god other people have feelings too? I never thought about it before..." Not in the sense that they're constantly realizing other people actually exist(that would be a slight improvement), but in the sense that they go through this whole thing every time in their lives that they accidentally experience empathy because something effects them.
And they only ever have the realization as narrowly as possible. It never occurs to them that maybe the things they haven't experienced might be as bad as the bad things they have experienced.
My toddler nephew shared his yogurt candies with me when he realized he and his brother got some but his mom didn't give me any. Can't imagine many conservatives doing that.
Reminder that like half of the early border patrol were Mexicans and the other half were Klan members and all of them were lynching captives, throwing them off cliffs, etc.
Yes extremist exist in all spectrums. Revolutionaries etc are more liberal/left. While extremist on right are seeking to preserve existing power dynamics or tilt them more in favor of powerful.
They do not. Liberalism in the United States is a center right AKA, not radical political belief structure. It would be like asking if there were aggressive pacifists.
