Rethinking the Right-Wing Mentality

[RevStPatrick]

3. I do think there is clearly a third group....

The Right Wing Sleep Walkers.

A large segment is neither Authoritarian Psychopath nor Nut Job.
They're just normal people with busy lives who vaguely believe what they are told, and really don't think things through. I think the RWSWs can be swayed to "our side" if it's clear that they are being exploited by the RWAPs and RWNJs. I think we saw plenty of anecdotal evidence of this during the election season, with numerous threads about "My mother-in-law will vote for Obama" etc.

They can be woken from their sleep, although they don't particularly want to be.
