There are the masses who are truly dumb enough to believe the rhetoric no matter how exhaustively disproven it may be. You can take them at face value for the most part.

Then there are the people manipulating those masses. The politicians, pundits, and puppeteers who convince people to vote against their interests time and time again. They don’t generally believe anything they say. They’ll say anything it takes to gain more power.

Many of the second group are eugenicists. Some openly admit it, but most aren’t quite to the point of saying the quiet part out loud.

None of the right-wing people in power give half a shit if poor people die. Somehow they’ve convinced a lot of poor people that they only hate poor minorities, and not all poor people. They’ve even convinced some poor minorities that they only hate poor immigrant minorities.

The reality is that they hate you, they hate me, they hate our neighbors, they hate our families, they hate our friends. They’d sell your soul for a nickel if they could. If you’re not a millionaire, you’re just cattle to the far right politicians and billionaires who have them in their pockets.
