What do conservatives fear?

[Exultant Democracy]

38. George Lakoff suggests that while yes their fear does make them weak,

That exploiting it for the greater is very difficult because the reaction to fear will almost never lead to a desirable liberal outcome.

In his opinion turning the dial down on their fear is the only tenable option. However I have no clue where that starts in a world with Rush and the rest of the right wing disinformation chamber yelling at them everyday. Education is obviously th e best option, hence the right wing war on schools and teachers for the last 30+ years.
