16. I think it is part of a larger strategy

Not necessarily by the base, but by the leaders of the movement. They stir up emotion (mainly fear and anger) based on false assumptions, exaggeration, and outright lies. The leaders of the conservative movement have a very specific end they want to reach and those who follow them, while necessary to carry it out, are not considered important except for the exploitation of their labor. Conservatism is about hierarchy and that hierarchy has a very distinct look. Ultimately there will be followers who liked "owning the libs" who will be on the other end of the equation.
