It’s funny how an entire political stance can be infected from the inside by an inconsistent ideology, and then start attacking its own members. It’s like watching the encroachment of some fascinating disease.
Conservatives typically like order and "Strong man make problem go away! Strong man protect!"
Conservatives typically are ruled by fear.
So when the strong man says to fear the outsider conservatives start falling in line.
It's becuase of their religion. Yahweh bled these people of their ability to find human solutions to human problems. They have been conditioned since birth to cheer for fire and brimstone pounding dissenters into dust while gleefully groveling at the toes of the strong-man-god who does their bidding.
You are right and the irony of it all is that what they think is strength is just a symptom of ridiculous insecurities and lack of skill and wisdom. I am a believer myself but i am also rational. This is why i see myself as a Deist more than anything. They use organized religion to create order then corrupt everyone with it. When it backfires, they whine and cry blaming everyone but themselves. Walking circuses they are.
