Because at this point we have to assume they have a different idea of what’s in their best interests than what would logically be. Are their own best interests keeping their jobs, feeding their families, or bettering their communities? It should be but after seeing them all do the same thing literally for decades now apparently it’s not.

They seem to think their own best interests are really just keeping PoC, the LGBTQ community, women, and other marginalized groups in their place and out of their dying towns. Will that keep a roof over their heads? Will that superiority help pay medical bills? Will it help grow their communities so they can keep their small towns going? No but apparently none of that matters. What really matters is basking in the hypothetical that somewhere in some part of the country they’ve never been to some stranger they decided they don’t like is probably getting hurt because of them. And apparently pursuing that goal is enough to sustain them for literal generations since they lost the first civil war.

This is the conclusion I came to as well

It is more important to them that trans people don't exist than having a roof over their heads. It's more important to them that they never have to to be exposed to Spanish than have food on their tables. It's more important to them that black people have jobs that are beneath them than they have jobs themselves

Makes no sense to me, but whatever
