You ask yourself, what do conservatives want in a President? They want people they don't like to suffer. They want to feel like their way of life is superior to any other and to not be confronted about it. They want to be able to inflict pain and suffering whenever the feel annoyed.

They want a King. Conservatives are largely people fit to be ruled. You give them too much credit, they are not cruel and evil, they are scared and pathetic.

I'd argue cruel and evil are derived from scared and pathetic.

The fear is the root, which can be hard to accept because its more human and relatable than evil which we want our opposition to be.
