    That is just the right wing populism playbook. They know that their most ardent voters are several chicken nuggets short of a happy meal, so they turn it into a us vs them contest, as if politics was a sport.

    It works because these people lack critical thinking skills, they never ask the obvious question, “why would a billionaire do things that would harm billionaires?”

      I know what you mean, and it makes sense, but there is something in me that wants to think, that a majority of people aren’t this naïve and fall for this.

      Maybe I’m naïve here in the end…
