8. They think America is a zero-sum game
And that freedom for some can only come at the expense of freedom for others.

And since they know they'd oppress and exploit others any chance they got to improve their own situation, they're convinced those others are just salivating for the chance to do the same to them.

Some people's minds just run that way. I don't know that there's much to be done about it.
