It’s a myth that the working class or poor reactionary supports Republicans because they view themselves as “temporarily embarrassed millionaires”. What they value is the hierarchy itself; they view their own status as just. A poor conservative views accepting ones station as a virtue, and demanding civil rights as a vice. There has never been a shortage of minority conservatives willing to excuse and justify their own oppression with this ethic.
In the conservative mind, the system of ranks and stations is a perfect dictate from heaven. It can only be corrupted by people who have high stations that don’t ‘deserve’ them. They believe systems cannot be improved, only restored.
