They have this weird idea that life is a zero sum game so that if someone else gains something, they will lose something. Republicans usually dig into this with fear-mongering about how Democrats want them to pay for abortions and Trans-gender surgeries or how their Healthcare will be worse.
Don’t forget the illegal immigrants. Just a constant threat to your life and existence that can’t really be measured. They’re here illegally… so… we can’t really count them. If we could, they’d all be arrested and deported. It’s perfect. Just a constant existential threat you cant prove doesn’t exist. Like Satan. I guess it’s no coincidence that most of them are also probably very religious and believe anything with zero proof.
and even people who have nothing to lose are afraid of this shit. so clearly it’s not rational. it’s the concept of precarity, it’s the malthusian crab bucket mind virus.
