In my many years on this fucking planet, my conclusion is that Conservatives, in many countries, are either selfish (this includes racism I think), gullible or rich. Just takes one, but a mix is not rare at all.
I also thing those traits come or are caused by a lack of introspection, self-awareness or empathy. Not sure what is it exactly, but you can smell a conservative from across the street…
You’re right, being rich basically means that you are selfish and made it.
