IMHO the taxonomy of right-wing beliefs is: 1) Dipshits who "don't like politics" meaning they don't think at all, just herd behavior 2) Dullards soaked in propaganda who believe they're thinking 3) Downright malicious people who just want to cause harm. Material grievances are tangential at best.
a lot of people want to believe that right-wing beliefs are rooted in some legitimate material grievance. that makes it easier to imagine that if we simply solved the material problem, they’d deradicalize. but they won’t, because they aren’t disillusioned, they’re just morons.

Correct. There were discussions at the time about what was changed/removed (this skit being a prime example) but I would hope /assume it's the same as whatever is now in the USA... youtu.be/SHhgMDbq8Io?...

One of the worst things to ever happen on, and because of, Twitter is one northeastern white guy told everyone that “bless your heart” (only) means “fuck you”. And people believed him!
As a southerner I love it when other people say y'all. I find it very welcoming. Non-southerners got to be careful with "Bless your heart" though. It's not always pejorative or ironic.
