Here’s a cheat card to understanding rightwing politics: different religion? BAD. Different skin color? VERY BAD. Different skin color and religion? TERRORISM AGAINST WHITE BOIS!!!
That is the lower level. Unsurprisingly right wing politics is hierarchical. The upper level is rich people using the rhetorics of that hate to convince poor people to vote for them, so they can grift to their hearts content.
upper level = grift
lower level = bigotry
Of course the upper levellers can still adhere to the bigotry, but the grift always comes first.
