I think you could apply that to almost any scenario i.e. Brexit - those who voted out did so to preserve/gain their vision of of a comfortable future whilst the those that voted to remain did so to preserve/ gain their vision of a comfortable future.

Those that have want to preserve, those that have not want to gain. At the end of the day everyone is looking after their own interests - no one is going to vote against what they believe is in their best interests.

Those that attempt to imply a 'higher calling' are the worst and the least believable/trustworthy In my opinion.
