It’s because the current right has no imagination. They’re completely unable to formulate a thought that is original too. The lack of imagination is why they are surprised at the consequences of their actions. They literally never imagined it would happen to them AND they are unable to imagine what the realities of prison are so they cry themselves into a sloppy mess every time they are sentenced.
Btw, that lack of imagination is also why they have no empathy - it also literally never occurs to them what the consequences of their actions are for other people. The only way a conservative/right winger will understand the situation is by experiencing it. They do not have the capacity for imagining or empathizing.
It’s lack of a specific type of imagination though. Empathy, like you said is clearly lacking, but I think imagining consequences might be the same type, it’s just empathy for your future self.
They certainly display a healthy imagination when it comes to conspiracy theories. Maybe fantastical imagination, but not realism? (Sorry for the laymanisms, it’s been 25 years since I slept through my philosophy and psychology 100 classes).

Yep pretty much. It’s just formulaic now. Perform some heinous act, then accuse liberals of doing that same act.
