If my memory does not fail me, there was research associating some kinds of threat and anxiety with conservative voters.

The politicians' playbook seems to cater to that kind of voter.

The conservative candidate that knocked on my door started saying how dangerous is a street nearby I walk daily. Most of his arguments were based on fear, and the culprit is always "the liberals". So that is definitely in their playbook.

Sadly for him, most of that information is easily accessible, like a map of crimes in the city, and his arguments fell short.

Hence the reason why only Conservatives rely on fearmongering.
