Here’s what the right-wing has in, there’s no shortage of the natural resources of ignorance, apathy, hate, fear. As long as those things are in the collective conscious and unconscious, the Republicans will have some votes.

Garofalo frames right-wing electoral strength as less a product of policy success than of enduring emotional and psychological “resources” in the electorate: ignorance, apathy, hate, and fear. By calling them “natural resources,” she uses a sardonic metaphor that suggests these forces are abundant, renewable, and easily exploited—like commodities. The reference to the “collective conscious and unconscious” implies that such impulses operate both openly (through rhetoric and media narratives) and covertly (through ingrained biases and anxieties). The quote’s significance lies in its critique of political mobilization via affect: it argues that votes can be generated by activating resentment and fear, especially when civic disengagement and misinformation persist.
