They are mutually exclusive, just not in the way that Galt means.
The ruling right-wing faction, West-wide, is traitorous. If you understand that, what they are doing makes sense all of a sudden.
The fact is that vast swathes of the West do not support the last thirty years. They don't want multi-ethnic communities, they don't like fags. They hate the fact that Muslims are even on the radar - it would be much easier if the US just carpet-bombed any ME nation that dared say a word. They don't like cities and they certainly don't like people outside their kin-group yapping about their lifestyle.
If you don't understand that the people currently dictating the course of US conservatism are f**k, you're f**k as well. And you'll never be able to feed them enough to rule. It'll just be one step forward, two steps back, forever.
