They are fully indoctrinated into a rw world view. A world view where the man is the head of the household and they dutifully pack the kids up for church on Sunday. They participate in their church groups and never question that these social constructs are reinforcing a warped conservative view. They live in their conservative subdivisions where that conservative mindset is reinforced through every activity in their lives. A worldview that says democrats are intent on taking their "hard earned money" to hand out to "others" who haven't worked as hard in their minds. They and their neighbors don't trust the government unless that government is also conservative and they never question why their government isn't working for them, because in their minds they have everything they could want in their conservative lives. They don't have an issue with their schools being better off than other schools in their districts because they pay those property taxes for a reason and they don't want to share. They fully support the church creeping into all aspect of their lives because why wouldn't they want the message of Christ everywhere? Any attempt by the left to curtail that is an attack on God & the Bible warns us against such attacks, at least that's what the preacher says. Anything that doesn't fit into their comfortable worldview of what pristine suburbia "should be" is viewed with distrust at best and hate at worst. They don't care about women's rights issues or civil rights issues or anything else that we on the left care about because they aren't being affected by it in their world.
