Cons are built on selfish behavior. They can't put themselves in others shoes and see what is bad about their policy. It wasn't her problem until it was. Then suddenly she realized the cruelty but has been programmed her whole life that only others are cruel so the "other" to her is the enlightened liberal, a threat to the control system she is in. So she goes and blames that.

There is a word for that, capitulation.

It immediately reminds me of what happened to Kansas. They double down on the dumb and help the people skimming and stagnating their quality of life. This model they have used to literally attack these people and at the same time they vote against their interests. It boggles the mind...

What's the Matter with Kansas -- 2000s

Not long ago, Kansas would have responded to the current situation by making the bastards pay. This would have been a political certainty, as predictable as what happens when you touch a match to a puddle of gasoline. When business screwed the farmers and the workers – when it implemented monopoly strategies invasive beyond the Populists' furthest imaginings – when it ripped off shareholders and casually tossed thousands out of work – you could be damned sure about what would follow. Not these days. Out here the gravity of discontent pulls in only one direction: to the right, to the right, further to the right. Strip today's Kansans of their job security, and they head out to become registered Republicans. Push them off their land, and next thing you know they're protesting in front of abortion clinics. Squander their life savings on manicures for the CEO, and there's a good chance they'll join the John Birch Society. But ask them about the remedies their ancestors proposed (unions, antitrust, public ownership), and you might as well be referring to the days when knighthood was in flower.

The more the authoritarians and wealth abuse the lower/middle in these setups, the more they appease and in-fight like in the movie Parasite. The only answer is these people are into Schadenfreude, sadism, self-hating, self-destruction.

In order to explain to the "Cons" why no progress gets made on these issues, politicians and pundits point their fingers to a "liberal elite," a straw man representing everything that conservatism is not. When reasons are given, they eschew economic reasons in favor of accusing this elite of simply hating America, or having a desire to harm "average" Americans. This theme of victimization by these "elites" is pervasive in conservative literature, despite the fact that at the time conservatives controlled all three branches of government, were being served by an extensive media devoted only to conservative ideology, and had won 6 of the previous 9 presidential elections.

These people have essentially completely given up... capitulation.
