Is the fundamental driver of conservatism fear? It appears to be anger - that's the broad impression - that conservatives are angry and hateful. But is it really, underneath that, that they're frightened and insecure?

Always has been. Fear and a resulting willingness to latch on to any distraction from that fear, no matter how illogical or unreasonable.
