Here more on Post modern Conservatism...
merionwest.com
Post-modern conservatives’ ideology tends to be a mishmash of contradictions, which makes it difficult to predict, but in practice, there tends to be some consistency. Post-modern conservatives reject institutions and norms affiliated with globalization, desire greater state control of the economy, and seek to limit the intrusion of external “enemies” who will threaten the dominant identity they seek to restore to its rightful place. This necessitates cracking down on immigration, especially on groups arbitrarily regarded as deviating from the identities they affiliate.
What is a “Post-Modern Conservative”?
“As Harry Frankfurt of On Bullshit indicated, a liar is someone who still has some tangential sense of what the truth is. They are aware of what is true and choose to dishonestly present the opposite. This is not true of Mr. Trump and his acolytes.”

This is the post-conservativism, the blending of the Republican brand and the evangelical brand. The labels are becoming interchangeable even if you are a Republican and not religious, you still think you are evangelical, and vice versa...

What is drawing more people to embrace the evangelical label on surveys is more likely that evangelicalism has been bound to the Republican Party. Instead of theological affinity for Jesus Christ, millions of Americans are being drawn to the evangelical label because of its association with the G.O.P.

Here is an article that points out that the wealthier one becomes, the less likely they are to lack empathy.
But a growing body of findings suggests the opposite – that it is those with fewer resources who attend more to the needs of others. For example, one of our studies found that people driving the oldest, cheapest cars were more likely to stop for an experimenter that was waiting to cross the street at a crosswalk. Those with the means to drive nicer cars were more likely to blow right through without stopping.

You know Steven Miller read this book: Jean Raspail's controversial 1973 novel The Camp of the Saints. He is bringing it to life thing like mask men killing immigrants, ripping children from their parents, invasion to describe the immigrants coming to America.... The books theme is compassion is wrong... It why Europe collapse in the book and you know why the right is attacking empathy ... I never read the book my dad did in the 1970s and he said it makes you wonder... @rittmeister , @O' Be Joyful , @jgoodguy ... The video make you wonder fan fiction coming true...
