My wife’s stepdad was born in Germany. His parents immigrated to the states when he was a baby (illegally). He’s had to work cash under the table practically his whole life. Under Biden he managed to obtain citizenship through a dreamer program. In his first presidential election that he could vote in, he went out and voted for Trump. One reason being there’s too many immigrants taking all the jobs. I don’t want to wish ill will on him, but were he to get caught up in this, I wouldn’t feel too bad for him.
He’s likely white, so he wouldn’t be implicated at least at first.
But yes that kind of thinking is something I share as well. In Germany we have a gay man as leader of the current right government party. He’s constantly blurring the red line towards the far-right and I for one will care for everyone else but him when the far-right govern and start messing with queer people.
But remember, ther were patriotic jews that voted for the NSDAP believing they would be excempt - they weren’t.
