    I could actually believe that.

    For the socially right wing people, we’ve seen them on the grad constantly. They’re the people who might be full marxists, but then despise LGBT people because they’re devout Muslims or Christians, or they were raised in an environment with those ideals and never shook them. Or they’re the people that are so extremely anti-racist that they end up become racist themselves. Or people that want socialism but only for chauvinist and protectionist reasons while hating foreigners.

    For the economic right wing, I blame that on the right having good optics with their “bootstraps”, “individual freedom” and other such slogans that entice people on the surface. Or they know nothing about economics and they choose right wing options because they simply sound good despite being disastrous.
