This video is a very good view into the values of the right: they’re not hypocritical at all. They genuinely believe that they have the right to rule based on who they are.
They are not conflicted about this at all; they believe that bad things happen because the wrong people are in charge. That’s what they actually mean by criticizing things like DEI: the wrong people have been installed in the halls of power, and they seek to “correct” it.
There is no cognitive dissonance to solve for, because they do think that they should be treated special based on who they are. They sometimes co-opt the language of the left, but they don’t believe it; it’s merely a way to communicate to the unwashed masses that their concerns are being heard.
