8. I have found that, in general, conservatives are cowards of thought

They are lazy and cowards in their thinking.
It is much easier for them to accept a wealthy authoritarian's propaganda than actually engage their own critical thinking.

In other words their feelings and superstitions (beliefs) trump their rational thought.
Again, I think they are afraid of leaving the 'comfort' of being lazy thinkers. That they might actually have to challenge themselves is too much work plus it might shatter their beliefs which they have identified with, invested in, and defended very heavily.
