How can Aspies be conservative except under duress?

My own theory about conservatives of today is that they have over the course of their lives, met a large number of people they consider to be "bad" - either they aren't smart, they aren't savvy, they are lazy, or whatever. The idea of a society without poverty thus outrages them because they see those "bad" people as deserving punishment - punishment through poverty, a punishment that will serve a a cautionary tale to others to stick to the path of righteousness.

Their belief in the Just World Fallacy leads them to think that these bad people will be punished through a perfect market society whilst those who are not "bad" will be spared. They want that "real rain to wash all the scum off the streets", they are into punishment. Faced with a choice between a better economy and punishing the "wicked", they'd choose number two in a heartbeat. They are into "reckonings" and the like. This is based on what I have seen from them personally.

Just the other day I heard talk of what this crisis needs is some kind of brutal reckoning, which presumably will weed out and destroy millions of people. It's brutal, it's nasty and it's dangerous. Their mode of thinking also veers dangerously into eugenics, this idea that society cannot afford these "parasites" who consume any kind of social services and must be done away with. This is based also on another characteristic of these so-called conservatives, and that's that they overestimate the amount of scarcity in society, they seem to think we're on the brink of a mediaeval famine or something, forgetting the massive advances made, that we have small numbers of people producing practically all the essentials.

The 2 links in the OP are pretty fringe views that I don't think more than a small minority of people would give credence to.

Religion can run the gamut from constructive compassion to fear and intolerance. If we can take the religion out of it and just look at conservativism today, despite the differences within of religion and others, generally lower taxes and holding lines or trimming domestic government programs relative to the situation seem to be common denominators. The thing that's troubling from an autistic's perspective is it seems like the majority of them do not think an individual is disabled or mentally ill unless they see indicators they can empirically observe and judge to fit as such. It's a method of thinking, one that can be blind to reality. Some here would certainly find the term "invisible disability" apt in describing what they have.

Everyone's different, so that's not to say there aren't people on the spectrum who can get along fine and function well being conservatives. And certainly not to say there aren't leftists and others who don't care or have dangerous ways of thinking regarding the disabled.

I myself have become apolitical and pay a bare minimum of attention to what's going on after I've realized politics involves these power games that are so far removed from what I can firsthand relate to. It wouldn't be my place to tell anyone what to think. If you're politically involved with some noble intent, consideration to your self interest balanced with the interests of others could be a goal. Now if you are someone on the spectrum and know others or know of others on the spectrum, either in real life or from these boards and lean conservative it would be interesting to know
Your take on what government does for the disabled
What government should or should not be doing for the disabled
Ways non-government resources may be used to improve their quality of life?
Do you think your views ever conflict with your self-interest or others' on the spectrum?

I am sorry if my use of the word disabled isn't the best choice there. I know, it isn't always a black and white issue.

How can Aspies be conservative except under duress? I suggest the answer is life experience. I'm conservative by UK standards. US politics at both ends of the spectrum seems weird from my perspective. The extreme left people are just as scary to me as the ones on the extreme right. Extremists are just pretty bad generally, I think.

I started off liberal as the schooling system is full of extreme far left teachers who teach their political inclination to the children under their care. I learned a lot about my rights, and nothing about my responsibilities. At school, I was taught an overly ideological idea of what the teachers wanted the world to look like. I soon noticed that what certain teachers with political agendas were teaching us was very naive, and in many cases their opinions actually lacked any basis in reality and they became dismissive (oh, you couldn't understand that at your age...) and then hostile when questioned about holes in their logic that you could slip planetoids (and maybe the odd star) through. They allowed bullies to flourish, and if they were aware of injustice they would sit back, cluck and say "oh, somebody should do something about that". I learned to keep my head down, and accept being bullied. Nobody would do anything about it.

I then joined the ATC at 13, which being sponsored by the military is inherently conservative in it's own way, as the people involved as instructors tend to be servicepeople who have considerably more life experience than school teachers. Frankly, this was a turning point in my life. Responsible adults abounded, and they were far from the smug, patronising teachers i'd been used to. Ask for help, and you'd receive more than you could ever use. I learned about my responsibilities, and so did my cadet peers. Bullying was not tolerated within or outside of cadets, and was ruthlessly exterminated at every level. Woe betide the gang who assumed they could get away with picking on that little strange kid outside cadets. Suddenly they find they'd picked the worst target in school. Free of bullying, I developed quite a lot better than I would have done otherwise.

As a young child I had always looked up at the sky, dreaming one day I would be able to fly. At 14, long before i'd considered getting in a car, I had learned the theoretical requirements to pilot an aircraft, and on a dark rainy day I found myself soaring through the clouds into the brilliant sunlight above in a RAF light aircraft under flying instruction. I learned how to fly powered aircraft and unpowered gliders before I was out of school, and long before I could drive. I learned shooting, archery, self defense skills, pride in my achievements, the confidence to try, and to walk with my head held high, and so much more. If I was good enough to be respected by RAF officers, I was good enough to be respected by kids at school. And by me.

When the bullies picked on a poor kid with his arm in a sling at school, I knew it wasn't somebody elses responsibility to end it. It was mine. It was me who refused to hide his head and scurry past the bullies shoving and thumping him. It was me who demanded that they leave the kid alone in front of hundreds of other shocked kids, because standing up to bullies just wasn't done. It was because of me that there was a pitched battle fought against them, and it was because of me that the majority of the bullies were expelled since I had a couple of hundred witnesses backing my story up.

So, let me turn the question around. How could any Aspie be a liberal, except under duress? Liberal, from my point of view is walking past a problem like a gang of bullies beating someone and clucking "oh, goodness someone should do something about that". But not you. It's not your responsibility after all. Conservative is the radical, outdated and widely mocked concept of standing up and saying "I should do something about that".

In case you missed the point behind the story, I quite strongly dislike the suggestion that i'm evil just because i'm Conservative. Contrary to popular (but lying, and hate filled) left wing propaganda saying that all conservatives enjoy watching people suffer, and spend their spare time eating infants I am actually generally the first person to stop and help in an emergency, and being a first aider this means that today there are at least a couple of people walking around as a result of my actions who would otherwise not be doing so.

Just because someone does not agree with your political views does not mean they are evil. I'm also an atheist btw, so it's nothing to do with religion either.

How can Aspies be conservative? By not being indoctrinated to love the nanny-state.
