    To the Conservative mindset everything is a zero sum game.

    Give rights to minorities that’s taking rights away from white men.

    Give restaurant patrons the right to dine in a smoke free environment that’s taking away the rights of smokers

    Increase the minimum wage, that’s devaluing the wages of everyone else

    Probably the most telling in a US context is Medicare for all. Free health care devalues their paid healthcare. I mean healthcare is healthcare (sure some doctors are better than others) the only reason someone would be upset that other people could be entitled to the same healthcare as them, whilst costing themselves less, is because these people think they are more deserving of healthcare than other people.
