Irony = anti-vax folks carrying signs reading "my body my choice" who will tomorrow be found picketing on front of the local Planned Parenthood clinic.
On immigration, those on the Right whom I've talked to are TOTALLY oblivious as to why there are folks from south of our borders seeking refuge in the first place, evidently ignorant of the famine, drought and political unrest (unrest that WE caused) in the homelands they are fleeing.
Faith defies logic, therefore it is illogical to attempt reasoning with the faithful. And fear is a centerpiece of many (not all) religions and the like – when faith breaks, there is nothing to replace that, and many faithful people are desolated. They fear that for certain – I've witnessed that a number of times. What's changed in the past couple decades in my view is the switch from earnestly trying to save us heathens (I experienced that several times in the old days) to simply hoping we go away and die.

*People Gonna Do What People Gonna Do
What can the far right offer in return for people surrendering democratic power?
The lure of fascism is the glint of collective supremacy through the fog of individual inferiority.
