cognitive dissonance by admitting that some right-wing ideas might have a grain of truth in them
This part is insane. I have a vegan hippy friend who is the poster child for privilege. She can't even admit a single thing about conservatism is good, despite I know she supports the ideals of individual liberty but thinks that's still something the left controls. The left used to go up against the crazy religious nuts that ran the right but that's not the right anymore.
They keep paintbrushing us as the boomerservatives from 30yrs ago.
I have other people my age (millennial) that conflate MAGA with boomservative. It shows that they haven't ventured outside of their echo chamber enough and make generalizations that don't match up with reality. That type of conflation/assumption pattern has become a personality trait for them.
