They tend to be somewhat more practical and knowledgeable when it comes to pragmatic business and getting stuff done.

The stuff they want to get done might suck though.

They are complete imbeciles on many other issues.

Companies that put profit first and have no ethical boundaries usually grow faster because our economy is built to reward them. Becoming a successful politician takes a lot of money. Selfish and unethical people are more likely to be right wing.

When you put that together it's obvious. Being a bad person leads to getting rich and having strong conservative views, and if you have both you become a right wing politician easily.
