All the right wing people I know personally (who used to be close friends) are that way for the same reasons:
- They are depressed, isolated, feel irrelevant, etc
- The only power that they have is to play victim and go after other people to give them a sense of purpose and feel like a hero
- They naturally pick on anything new (lgbt rights, racial progress, etc)
- Nothing is ever their fault, they’re lazy when it comes to changing their life or actually putting in real effort to to engage with people and make a difference

Ie they are not racist and hate filled for the hell of it, it’s just a natural reaction to their miserable lives, ego, and laziness
