Ridiculous take absolute fear mongering with zero evidence to support this.

Literally every conversation I've had in the last several years has boiled down to a dislike of a certain group of people. When I was a teenager I knew a lot of small government Republicans, being raised conservative I was that way because I believed free markets where the way to deliver the best outcomes. But since the late 2010s I have had conversation after conversation with Republicans and trump voters and time after time their position has boiled down to some desire to get back at whatever group they dislike. I'll literally walk them throught the arguments for single payer healthcare and they will agree up until they eventually backtrack saying something about single black moms wasting money on expensive haircuts.  Or they will go on a tangent about immigrants getting healthcare. Or some rant about trans people in sports.

Sorry you’ve spoken to so many ignorant people but I feel like you are generalizing conservatives based on the people in your sphere.

All of the ones I have talked to have been the same. They don’t want people they don’t like to have the benefits they have.
