The issue is that these changes are beneficial to society but detrimental to them personally. So they try to rationalize their stance without sounding like selfish assholes.

I think it's more that the right wing media tries to identify grievances and then provides rationalizations for them. I don't think this is an organic, ground-up process.

It isn't even detrimental, it is just different from what they prefer. How does a bike line on a road they probably don't even live on really effect them? It doesn't.
