Thoughts on the "Right" vs Conservatives
Part of the issue is the large influx of essentially leftist men to the Republicans escaping the diversity bullies. Bernie Bros form a huge part of Trump's coalition, and they did not becone conservative in the process, most of them are still shitlibs, but cosplaying in Americana because doing so angers their tormentors on the left.
American conservatism has always been 'Liberal" in the classical and continental sense. What it seeks to "conserve" are enlightenment values. There is a strong respect, and sometimes arguably a reverence for traditions because those generally ARE beta tested by time.
The first change in this was in 1980, when the evangelicals were driven out of the progressive movement (which they had founded and been the backbone of for over a century). I would argue that the Evangelicals are philosophically and neurologically still progressives because they have a broad affinity for big government and frequently cannot imagine that they might go too far in their cause. This reflects the same pathologies on the left, though there is FAR more dissent on these points amongst religious conservatives.
The new right is basically a bunch of bitter, resentful socialists and communists racists and antisemites who adopt the iconography and fashion of U.S. patriotism in the same manner as the leftists of the 1930s. They like their more overtly leftist counterparts wear such norms as a skinsuit. To a large extent this is a result of them being shat on by the diversity goons since they were able to talk, as well as the abominable state of history and civics education This is, in turn exacerbated by a focus by their Gramscian educators on a very smooth brained and unthoughtful (oppressor/oppressed) view of society, and, ironically, the lesson that has been drilled into their heads by these same oppressors, that all politics is immoral power games and that oppressors are intrinsically justified in any atrocities that they do.
In my experience, many of them see civility and compromise as being as the intersection of stupidity and evil.
This all has the potential to go quite pear shaped.
Especially since the alternative to this potential looming horror, is, if anything worse.
