The first being that you need to understand that some of us care about more than ourselves when promoting government policy. The second is that we're mostly straight middle class white guys aged 30-60. We're more likely to benefit from most of the proposed and enacted policies. 

I'm concerned with access to healthcare for those who are not as fortunate as I am.

I'm concerned with the ability of my students to access quality after before and school programs. 

I am concerned with infants and toddlers being separated from their parents, even if their parents are coming into this country illegally. 

I'm concerned with the dismantling of the federal bureaucracy and the effects that will have the the years to come.

I'm concerned with whether or not the DOJ would defend my father or brother if their rights were violated.

I'm concerned with journalist being described as "enemies of the people" by our Commander in Chief, especially after 5 were gunned down minutes from where I live by a man who grew up in my hometown. 

I'm concerned that our current economic policies will lead to a recession, undoing the recovery achieved by the last administration and inherited by the current.

But I guess I shouldn't really care since nothing bad has happened to me personally. 

Who said you shouldn't be concerned, I asked a question which no one, including you, have answered.

You did point to the dislike of the rhetoric. 

It's quite the intellectual dishonesty to try to associate those tragically killed with anything Trump has said; as that dude was wishing for members of that paper to "cease breathing" long before POTUS Trump. it really is insulting to the memory of those that lost their lives. 

It's not about "personal" it's about the common interest over the special interest.
