    “It only hurts the people I don’t like” and “I would be exempt from this”.

    I have no idea why any immigrant or Hispanic would want this. He’s directly targeting all of them. There are no exceptions, there’s no points you get. This is his stated platform

          I woke up much sooner than when they ate my face. It was when they stripped a “supposed foreigner” of their company. The proof of them being a foreigner were having “stein” in their name, a “suspicious nose not common among real Hungarians”, not being religious, and supporting liberalism.

        I’m a disabled person, who voted Fidesz in 2010, and my face got eaten by the leopards. Due to the nature of my disability, I won’t receive any help, I’m barred from driving cars thus barred from many local jobs. Those who can are re-examined every few years, and even amputees are body-searched sometimes for “tied-up limbs”, and are preferred to instead seek some job which is specifically made for the disabled, which thanks to local version of ableism, is largely something specialized for the intellectually disabled, and the job descriptions often read like they were lifted from those godawful ableist jokes.

      Devout Christianity is a common reason. Specifically, the kind that believes abortion is murder and is the number 1 topic that can supersede all others. If one candidate vows to outlaw it and the other vows to protect it, the conservative Christian brainwashing machine gets these out-groups to vote against all of their interests to “protect babies”.

      Taxes is another I hear. People actually beleive Republicans are fiscally responsible and going to help these out-groups, many of whom are lower middle class, get ahead by reducing tax. Ignore the part where reducing everyone’s taxes increases everyone’s gains, increasing everyone’s budget, and therefore not actually increasing anyone’s purchasing power because the market will adjust sales price higher.

      Obviously, this works on the majority demographics too. But they’re closer to the in-group than who you asked about
