Well said. I also grew up in a ‘rightoid’ family and can confirm.
I would also add that they tend correlate wealth as a sign of intelligence and hold wealthy people in the highest esteem.
They also try to emulate wealthy people via conspicuous consumption, creating an outward illusion of wealth and success. I have a family member on section 8 who buys luxury goods to lord their ‘success’ over their friends and neighbors. It’s absolutely mind blowingly insane.
