So many of them think in absolutes, so they see the issue of their way of believing as vs other ways of believing, in a zero sum manner. So their logic is - if you don't believe as I do, you diminish my beliefs. If people who don't believe as I do are given the same rights as I have, then I lose my rights. Not logical, pretty childish, but there it is.

Ive heard before "I will do what I want". When it comes to laws they never apply to the selfish person only to everyone else around them when it benefits them. Dare to apply those same laws to them and you are infringing on their rights. In reality telling them they can't do something. Then the adult tantrum comes out. I'm on board with your thinking. One time I had an abortion discussion with a MAGA friend. His opinion was sacrosanct I couldnt budge him in anyway to see it slightly differently or sympathically. It was like he was arguing a position that was already established law and everyone followed it. Perhaps I was arguing with his echo chamber more than with him.
