They're conservatives. There's a couple succinct ways of summing up conservatism.

"There must be in-groups for the law to protect but not bind, and outgroups for the law to bind but not protect"

That's pretty much it. They want to be able to do what they want, unbound, but still be protected.

There's also "No one tells me what to do. I tell you what to do."

They want to do what they want. Shoot guns. Litter. Drive a big car. Whatever. But they want to tell you what you can do. Don't do gay stuff. Don't ride a bike. Don't do that religion.

They are, at their core, bad people. Depicted honestly they would be a villain in a children's book. They might be friendly to their neighbors, but at the core they treat outsiders badly. It's funny because many of them identify as Christian, but the "love your neighbor" + "the outgroup is also your neighbor" part didn't make it in.
