There's no "maybe" about it.
American conservatives are not only ignorant
but aggressively ignorant,
proudly ignorant,
boastingly ignorant,
cheer-leading The Apocalypse ignorant.

"Republicans For Revolution: A Study In Anarchic Apocalypticism"
***
"The reformicons’ retreat from Ryan-style apocalypticism is not only a shrewd tonal shift, but also a welcome — albeit unacknowledged — recognition that the party’s doomsaying has not come to pass, and that the American way of life will indeed survive Obama’s reforms. Indeed, the success of Obama’s domestic agenda may create more space for a conservative counteroffensive, in the way that Reaganism opened political room for Bill Clinton. Whether or not the reformicons ever compose a workable domestic agenda, they have come to recognize that they cannot run a presidential campaign promising to rescue America from fire and rubble visible only to themselves." Jonathan Chait in New York Magazine.
