There's 2 types of right wingers, dumb ones and disingenuous ones.

Scared, stupid and selfish. The 3S framework of conservatism. You don't have to be all 3 to be conservative, but you're at least one.

Nice, I'd say the first two of those terms apply mostly to the dumb ones.

The disingenuous ones take advantage of the stupidity of the others to induce fear to facilitate manipulation.
