    Fair. Although I’d say that applies more to the mid-tier and up Republicans. The rank-and-file Fox News watchers don’t know what they believe unless Fox told them five seconds ago.

      Nah, even the rank-and-file know they want to subjugate everybody outside their tribe. They may not necessarily understand how the things the leadership pushes accomplish that – and more to the point, they might not even realize they’re actually often not in the tribe the leaders are pushing it for – but they don’t need to because they have blind faith instead. Deference to authority is what being a conservative is.
