Why do conservative men obsess over alt-women?

Apologies if this has been discussed before or not or if this isn’t the right board to discuss it on but it’s been something that’s been on my mind and something I think I’ve noticed for a while. I live in a pretty conservative area (I’m a progressive) and have gotten to work and know dudes who mostly identify as conservative or right winged. I’ve also worked with a lot of girls who would identify as alternative (goth, punk, emo etc) and notice in around 3 different cases from all the jobs I’ve had in Texas, that these dudes either have crushes or had crushes on the alt girls.

In one case, I had a shift leader who you could say was your typical dudebro gamer (guy who believes everything he doesn’t like is “”woke”” and the type of dude who watches Asmongold if that makes any sense) who had this huge crush on another shift leader who was alt and mind you, was LGBTQ+ and was already in a relationship. He would treat them like they were already in a relationship and would always ask them to go out with him (super delusional)

I got to hang out with the other shift leader and they would tell me they couldn’t stand this guy. They were pretty leftist and basically believed in a lot of stuff he himself hated. It was basically almost harassment at this point (luckily both don’t work there anymore and they’re far away from each other) one day I go into work and this dude starts shit talking the other shift leader like they’re the worst person in the world. They’d insult their looks, their beliefs, their identity and would even use ablest slurs against them. My best guess is because they had a talk with them and just flat out rejected them.

This is just one instance but I’ve seen others like I’ve said before both online and irl, men who identify as right-winged obsessing or getting crushes on the alt-girl with a lot of liberal or leftist politics and beliefs. If they identify as bi or pan they chase them more, or if they’re neurodivergent. They’ll even fake their beliefs to them even though they know damn well that what they said to me last week was the complete opposite. Like, why are you bothering chasing someone you have a very low percentage of getting with? Even if you do get together with them I doubt it’s going to last that long. I’m sorry if this sounds dumb or like a generalization but it’s something I’ve noticed for quite awhile, why is that?
