Right, so the idea is that right wing policy of cutting support systems is fueling right wing growth. People are dumb, or this is what they want? Both? Lol Seems weird though

The playbook has been to manipulate "low-information voters" by promising that you will attack a marginalized group of people. Get the voters to believe that you are on their side by echoing the fear and hatred they have for The Enemy.

Action against The Enemy replaces any action to directly address economic and social marginalization.

It's how we process information. Avoiding this cognitive glitch takes practice.
