That's how they do it. They convince everyone that LGBTQIA+ people and immigrants are the reason everything sucks, so we need to sacrifice everything in order to deal with them. Then when someone says "I want a bunch of good things that everyone wants, and also protection for LGBTQIA+ and abolishment of ICE!" they see those last 2 things and immediately throw out everything else that they would love to have, because that's the sacrifice they've been conditioned to make.
Brilliant take
