I believe this as well, but I also think this is the kind of thing most of those voters wouldn’t be aware of without the help of a therapist. I think they honestly believe it’s within the government’s power to make people’s lives worse, and that this is the only kind of change it’s possible to effect. And to a certain extent, that’s not completely irrational if they’re going by their own experience and the way that capital amplifies their own signal when they want something evil.
I wonder what the entire staff of OAN would be doing if AT&T wasn’t dumping tons of cash into their laps.
