MODERATORS
It certainly worked during COVID. Republicans said they'd rather die than give up their unmasked freedom. Hard to ask their graves if they regret that, though.
When they said that they meant other people, not themselves. As someone who works in my conservative state's largest ER and only trauma 1 ward, pretty much everyone who died were completely baffled why they were being put on ventilators, including their families.
No one imagines it's going to be them who ends up in the ground, they just want to continue doing what they want do without being told no. I think the big difference is that no one is going to expect other people to pay for their groceries.
I think most people have just internalized that they are the main character and they have plot armour.
