As a good portion of the US population is self-sorting into two warring tribes, both bent on screwing each other over by passing laws whose sole purpose is to harass the other tribe and obstruct their ability to live the life they choose. Not to mention folks in other countries caught in wars they didn't ask to be a part of.
There's plenty of "cruel and domineering" to go around these days, and plenty of people who probably feel they have little to no ability to stop someone else from forcing their preferences on them.
