    he also wants to not be scared.

    No. These people live to be fearful. You don’t understand where they are starting from.

      We have the same basic axioms, it’s just that for some people having an “enemy” makes it easier for them to cope with problems in their own life.

      It’s true they thrive in fear, but it’s reductive. We can do a better job changing people and getting better outcomes if we stop being reductive and start being the smarter person who understands how the country’s strongest political capital functions and start getting them pointed towards our actual enemies.
