Right wingers want everything deregulated because they’re afraid of big government, but they also want a bigger and bigger military because they’re afraid of foreign governments, which ends up making us a whole lot of foreign enemies that right wingers are afraid of, so they give the government, which they’re afraid of by the way, more power to tightly control who enters the country, invade all our privacy and detain our own citizens in the off chance any of them might be the international terrorists they’re afraid of, which doesn’t really accomplish anything because it’s that very fear of the other which already creates our country’s most dangerous radicals and those dangerous radicals enjoy free-for-all access to the best possible tools of their terror attacks because right wingers are afraid any gun regulation will leave them weaker than either the terrorists or the big intrusive government that they created out of fear and are very afraid of.

The entirety of modern American conservatism is JUST irrational emotion and almost 100% of that emotion is terror of things that they imagine “might” happen.
