Trump has exposed the scam of conservatism. They inhabit the upside-down. Where rugged individualists, the leaders and producers, need to have everyone get out of the way and yield. Though supposedly strong and unstoppable they must be unimpeded in their plunder or everything will fall apart.
In the upside-down the most powerful people, the super-rich, aren't rewarded enough and must have more. The dominant religious group, Christians and especially conservative Christians, are persecuted. They are disrespected and denied free expression. They must have recognition as the state religion.
White people are subject to prejudice. They are threatened and everyone else must go. Money and power, which conservatives already have, are their own justification. By divine right or natural law, take your pick. The status quo, which favors conservatives, is sacred. It must not be challenged.
The law and prisons protect these interests from the rabble. That underclass, most of humanity, are a burden. Sometimes a nuisance. They are tolerated if required for their labor or as soldiers or servants and enforcers, but they are otherwise disposable. Technology is making them useless.
They had better behave and revere their masters or they will be eliminated. God is on the side of conservatives and probably a conservative Himself. Times have changed, it's hard to say. But power is an expression of divine will, in the way the universe is made. Play your part or you will be removed.
