In my experience, the loudest conservatives I've met have all fallen into 2 categories:

Explicitly "fuck you I got mine" I can at least appreciate the honesty with these ones.

And "I haven't read a book since 12th grade, and now I struggle to read at a 2nd grade level." And that's just performing the act of reading. Actual comprehension and critical thinking are completely beyond them.

The religious types are part of the equation too, but my area isn't particularly religious, so I don't often come across those assholes.

The religious types are really just subsets of the other types who want to play the "See, it is not me saying all those bigoted things about you, it is my god" card to avoid counter-arguments.
