There used to be a saying that left voters were simply right voters that has yet to be the victim of a crime, commonly with the subtext that people who are victim of crime by low social economic demographics are only acting rational based on that trauma.
I wonder how true that really is. My only personal experience is being held up at gunpoint by some dude tryin to steal my only computing device that i couldn't afford to replace.
How much a person is going to be effected by a trauma is individual and also in part culturally. Have you ever felt a need for a safe space against the demographic that held that gun? Do you feel unsafe when near people who look like them? Do you expect others around you to respect your view if you did feel unsafe, and do you feel a social support for the need for a safe space against that demographic?
