Meanwhile there was a video interviewing illegal Brazilians in the US who supported Trump. Most of those were in favor of expelling immigrants, if they broke laws (ignoring they are illegal themselves). They saw themselves as “good guys”, so it wouldn’t apply to them. And some of them complained that nowadays there was more immigrants and hence more competition for jobs, so they wanted it to be more difficult to get in. Typical “now that I’m here, kick the stairs”. I just assume most of his supporters are selfish people who wouldn’t miss the chance to throw someone else at a bus to have some personal gain—as long as they don’t stain their own hands with blood.

I would look for the video, but it was in Portuguese anyway.

This self-ish mentality is rife and something I noticed alot more during covid. When most people during that period would not even take basic measures to help protect their own community, mind you these same people are also always the ones that decry freedom of speech and rights. The right for them to say anything and also the right to not vaccinate. But then you ask them about trans, gay rights and abortion rights then you really see who they are, because it’s just rules for me but not for thee with these people.

Then they try the it’s against my religion approach, then you ask them about those same freedoms for other religions, whoa whoa slow down there because this level of freedom only applies to Christians. Hypocrites

Not to mention the gay conservatives that have essentially voted for their own rights to be chipped away at by the far right. It’s like they are wearing blinders to their own prejudice being ushered in again after decades of progress.

It’s truly staggering the amount of cognitive dissonance, hate yet at the same time the inability to even realise that the freedoms that these people try to strip away from others are also the same freedoms that will also be stripped away from them at some point as they through their own idiocracy inch themselves further into authoritarian dictatorship.

Re: gay conservatives

I was reading something the other day and white gay men are so normalized now (and I mean, that's the goal!) that some of them consider themselves to be out of the LGBTQ+ movement because they don't want to be dragged down with the others as their rights are being eroded.

It's disgusting.

Yeah, just sad honestly if that is the case. It’s pretty typical though with most conservatives I have talked with, it’s this mentality of lifting your self up by your boot straps and not really caring about others. Which to me is a solely selfish and greedy outlook for any community as a whole. The problem with this though is they forget that alot of the rights that will inevitably be stripped away was a team effort going back for decades. Same thing applies to the immigrants that are conservative and cheer on whats happening in relation to immigration except these folks will have the leopard eating their faces alot sooner.

What's the line of reason? They voted according to their core values and since they have to pay for the implementation, they should change their values or should have voted solely by self interest?
