Conservatism is a mental illness. The more conservative someone is, the weirder they appear to the normal people.
I think conservatives do come from a place of anxiety in general, but they are usually of the mindset to keep the status quo.
The mental illness is authoritarianism that comes as conservatives start to actively make things worse.
Conservatives are only anxious about gas prices and the fact that their attempt to oppress and exterminate vulnerable classes appears to be in jeopardy. They are nervous that their dream of permanent power might be slipping away.
Conservatives are the oppressors, not the victims. In fact, conservatives would call your expression of empathy for them "woke" and see it as a weakness to exploit.
Understand that a conservative is biologically unable to experience empathy. This is why they despise it and are disgusted by it. Give them a hint of empathy and they will use it to attack you.
LOL… they elected Dumpster Fire to be a dumpster fire. They’re influencers. They don’t care about the status quo, unless it’s racist, sexist, or misogynist and sometimes ableist.
