What do you think needs to happen for them to stop being attracted to the hate?
I've seen a similar thing: rural people talking about all sorts of progressive ideas like UBI, student debt relief, and other policies for helping others (sometimes without even knowing that they're talking about progressive ideas) yet always go back to "immigrants this" or "elites that".

Perhaps religion's most zealous followers tend to be people who have trouble contextualising information? That would certainly help explain why the "I got mine proceeds to pull up ladder " attitude is so prevalent there...
Anyway, I don't want to come across like I'm arguing with you.

I wonder if the concept of religion itself is conservative or if it just attracts that kind of person? My understanding is that most religions' holy texts are effectively just guide books on how not to be a dick to others (not that religious people actually read them that way). I wish someone would do a study to explore this cognitive dissonance in more depth

What a world we live in.
