Conservatives will choose fascism as their solution every time, don't get me wrong. But that's the point: They can express some humanity in wanting poor people to improve while simultaneously enuring that this is impossible. They don't need to openly advocate for pogroms so long as the violence of poverty does that for them

American prisons.
Or Afghanistan
