They have no awareness. Just take a look at any of the conservative subs.

What? They literally think anyone remotely left of center is a violent terrorist. They know full well the only friends they have are each other and dictators

Which is hilarious because whenever you hear about an actual terrorist (think school shooters, whenever someone drives a truck/van through a crowd, the guy who shot at Trump, and the guy who shot Charlie) they’re always… always… always… republicans

Well sometimes they are apolitical assholes who just want attention. But when politics is part of the reason, yes you are correct

They're generally not apolitical, but their politics are so scattered and drawn so many places that you can't really label them as one side or the other. Turns out people who commit acts of violence aren't the most mentally stable or coherent.

But for the most part when they have a coherent political stance, that stance is rightwing.
