6. Why do people have to learn the hard way

that when dealing with a person like Trump who attacks all but a few groups of people that, unless you're in that very small, very select group of people (white, cishet, rich, evangelical) he always supports and protects, they- or a loved one- will almost certainly become another victim of his policies eventually? This is basically the conservative mindset in general: "If it isn't happening to me or to a loved one, it doesn't exist to me and therefore I just can't care."
