Nobody ever went right because they were “betrayed” by the left. That’s like going gay because of a bad breakup. Most people who legitimately feel betrayed by the left go further left.
What the right does cultivate is false grievance against the left. And this “walkaway” narrative is fake news.
That is not entirely true. The Reagan revolution was composed of disillusioned Democratic voters. Most of MAGA comes from this group.
The problem is they were low information voters and did not realize the Reagan coalition was the primary cause of their distress. Then FOX news and AM radio radicalized them.
That sadly only works for the limited number of people with a working brain.
The amount of idiots that vote far-right to get the left policies the left never in power did thus not deliver is insane. Those people will also scream in your face about fake news or even get aggressive if you read straight from their populist party’s programs, because the brain rot they consume says otherwise.
