22. It's "Feel Good" Stuff
A lot of the right wing rhetoric is bred in years and decades worth of stereotypes...seen and unseen that provide a basis where their lies and deceptions can operately freely and flourish.

They've learned which emotions can be played with...racism, sexism, religion, class...and found ways to create themes and memes with feel good concepts that once they "embrace" an individual, provides them with plenty of re-inforcement of these "core" convictions.

Remember, for years, these sanctimonious schmucks pretended to be truly moral and didn't have the paper trail and track record they do now in their hypocrisy. They were able to hide in decades of minority status to build up an inferiority complex that makes xtians believe they are being "persecuted" and "libruls" so strong and evil.

Sadly, this country has been exploited for what divides us, not unites us. The Repugnicans have tapped into these divisions and pretended come across as the defender of some of these "exploited" people...like those poor white 35 year old males who believe driving a Hummer is a god-given right...and how dare those Iraqis keep our oil under their sand.

Peace...
