In my twitter polls a surprisingly large amount of people vote for 'small concrete good' as opposed to 'large abstract good' - for example, more people voted to 'save the life of a child' than 'prevent gender roles from reverting to the 1950s'
No, I think that is a really weak version of my argument. I don't think that what I'm worried about is the government suddenly going rogue.

Imagine a boat crashes on an island, and everyone elects you to lead them. It's more likely you'd be more careful about your decisions if your group consisted of strong men than weak children. It's a general 'fear' of the people you govern that modifies your choices.
