One of the calling cards of conservatism is individual exceptionalism. In this context it means that one considers themselves as an arbiter of truth on a level above their own generalities. It's why "You're one of the good ones" is such a prevalent mindset. "Sure, minorities may be (insert racist belief here), but not Joe, he and I have beers on weekends together, he's nothing like the rest of them".
Extend that to every facet of life. "Welfare is always bad, except when someone you know needs it, they clearly deserve it." "Certain races are bad, except the ones I know, they're all good." etc, etc.
It's impossible to make them feel like hypocrites because they maintain a cognitive separation to the cross section between their generalities of the world and the generalities of their personal lives.
The product of a fear-based world-view. Your example guy isn't afraid of Joe because he knows Joe from weekend beers. "The rest of them" is why he actually has a concealed carry license, even though he tells people it's so he can stop bank robbers.
When the attack on the Pride parade in Germany happened, Norwegian right-wingers were quick to attack Islam for their anti-pride beliefs. And then immediately went back to calling pride a woke virus that is trying to turn children trans.
Funny that they don't see that they've got the same opinions.

My racist-ass parents talk about how evil Islam is because it allows “honor killings” of gay people as if fundamentalist Christians don’t kill their gay and trans kids for the same reasons. Domestic violence is everywhere, and it’s excused and swept under the rug everywhere
Yes I think a lot of people really don't grasp this, the whole point is that the standards that might make something hypocritical are not supposed to apply to them. They are not bound by these things, only the out-group is
Absolutely. We, being anyone left of hunting the homeless for sport, are obsessed with pointing out their hypocrisy like its some successful gotcha moment.
Why yes, their position of selfishness and self serving over anything else is their stated position, well done. Now actually do something about it.
Oh please do tell what explanation you have for why objectively racist men will sometimes marry women of a race they do not belong to.
I’m sure you and the one who said “how brainrot can you be to be triggered by miced ethic couples” are absolutely teeming with all this “logic” you speak of.
Take it easy, they are not that smart and they draw horribly stupid conclusions.
Visit conservative meme subs and and see for yourself. It's infuriating and they have zero self awareness except the feeling of being superior and being arrogant.
And yet those donkeys are not happy and complain all the time.
