Anecdotal evidence that the right is for the uneducated.
Anecdotally... About 75% of the right that I know/met.
The other 25% is a mix of racism, greed, and conspiracy theory.
Every time they'll be complaining about the price hikes under Trump, just remind them of why they voted for Trump. This is the best course of action against "collective amnesia" as we call it in Hungary.
Which is why every time something bad or good happens, I'll be posting #ThankRepublicans over and over. People love to bitch, so put it squarely with them.
Oh alongside the loss of benefits they rely on (which I told them about), the pandemic potential with the worst Kennedy, even their friends which are of varying ethnicities and going to be targeted, the list is.... Long.

uneducatable
Solid distinction.
Religion primed the rubes, and a new godhead told them he is their salvation.
Religion didn't prime them. Religion merely exploits the same human psychological weaknesses. This is why they go hand in hand.
Hmm. Maybe look up what priming (verb) means.
I know what it means. I guess I didn't make my point clear enough, that's on me. I didn't think I had to write it for an eli5 audience.
Whatever makes you feel better
