Nope, this is natural.
Like, straight up default human behavior, and conservativesare actually really good at manipulating people using basic human psychology.
An absolute shit ton of people who grew up as "outsiders" really just want to be with the majority "in group" and are willing to side with them against smaller minorities.
Like, that's the whole TERF thing in a nutshell.
Women who were treated poorly for being women, and trying to side with their abusers against a weaker target.
It's literally the reason most mothers abuse their children. Same psychology, just different target.
Hell, it's the same reason weak men target women and children in the first place
An innate desire for a "human pecking order" that displays at varying rates due to normal human variation.
Racism too, LBJ described it generations ago after seeing firsthand what Republicans were doing in the South:

We need to understand why this keeps working to fight it...
I'm sorry, but most mothers abuse their children? Where did you get this?
I'm reading that as "the reason most mothers who abuse their children do so"
Fair enough, that was probably the intention.
...
That's really how you took that?
I took it that way too honestly. Honestly it made me skip reading the rest of your argument until I saw the comments below it talking about what you actually meant, so yeah, syntax is annoying but necessary for getting the point you want to make across. (I did go back and read the rest of your argument.)
Let's try again:
Do you think that means:
Most people inject insulin.
Of the people who inject insulin, the most common reason for doing so is they have diabetes
Yeah, because that's literally what it says. And how am I supposed to know you don't actually believe that? Crazier things have happened! Figured I'd ask, to be sure.
I get what you intended to say though.
