I've noticed that the rhetoric of right-wing people centres on fear, in 
several ways. They're so afraid of people who are different, seeing them 
as an immediate threat to them, while also encouraging people to conform 
through fear of punishment. It's always "more discipline" and "being 
tougher on crime" and "tougher on immigration" - the idea being that the 
only thing stopping these terrible people from doing terrible things is 
they, themselves, being afraid of "us".


It's quite sad, really.
