The people who are pulled, are pulled because they have something in them that resonated with the right’s hate filled ideology.
In my observation portions of conservative ideology may start with a valid premise or fact, but its quickly distorted or outright lied about with all supporting statements resulting in cesspool of vitriol that is today’s conservative ideology. It requires consumers to accept the base premise without the follow-on critical thinking.
One common example I see a lot from them is something like “We don’t have enough money [at this exact second] to fix all the problems that exist”. That is actually a truthful statement. We have lots of problems and fixing them all RIGHT NOW would be monumentally expensive beyond any amount of money we have.
The critical thinker would look at what money we do have, triage the many problems we have begin allocated what we have immediately to the most critical needs. In parallel, new funding sources should be sought to bring more money to bear on the vast number of remaining problems.
Instead the conservative answer is “because we can’t fix ALL the problems RIGHT NOW we should fix NONE of them and give what little money we do have on hand to people that are rich who already have the most money and the fewest problems”.
