The miraculously invulnerable

[_nicolai_]

So,
right-wing Queers;
right-wing Transgender people;
right-wing Black people;
right-wing Asian people;

What makes them all think it won't happen to them when the fascists come?

If your question is more than merely rhetorical, I would guess that that the answers are the besetting errors of the middle-class right-winger mind set:

• It'll never happen to me;
• I identify with the values of the overclass and I am one of the Elect; therefore, it definitely won't happen to me;
• I'm not one of them, the smelly undeserving underclass who are a threat to me - us - the deserving and productive citizens.

I an sure that LessWrong have a better list, and that it will be rigorously supported by evidence and elegantly argued.

Of all the common errors in our thinking, I believe that "It'll never happen to me" is the most dangerous, and the most intractable: the other two are products of skilful flattery by propaganda and what propaganda can achieve, propaganda can undo
