I think there's hope the info gleaned from the incel movement about the incel movement will give us insights into conservatives and the habits of frustration generally. The frustration of unrecognized genius. The frustrations of having to dwell with lesser beings. The frustrations of watching lesser beings progress in life in ways that you can't.
Then there are the results. Seething resentment. Revenge fantasies. Delusions of sufficiency. Lots and lots of compensation. Conservatives are all about compensation, trying to make up for the void inside and feelings of insecurity by putting other people down and building yourself up, no matter how you have to degrade yourself to do it.
This, is the fundamental dilemma of conservatism. They have to make themselves lesser to feel better because, at a deeper level, they know their own worth.
