They're perfectly happy to pay for wars, corporate welfare, bailouts for Trump's base, and tax cuts for the rich, but the second you start talking about spending money on the poor & working class, they start crying about how we can't afford it.

The right is about shoring up status-quo and financial cautiousness.

Wars secure resources and demonstrate defensive capabilities and the rich are a reasonably safe investment as they have more systems in place to secure profitability.

This may hurt to hear, but the poor are the poor because their work doesn't contribute as much to corporate profit, and they're a bad investment as they don't have enough capital behind them to hedge against risk (they also typically have a smaller skillset to pull from).

Capitalism is effective because you can cut off dead vestiges to keep the system alive and well, communism fails because the weakness of one part ills the entire group.

Capitalism suits right wing ideals perfectly so no, welfare red states aren't necessarily going to turn on the party.
