The worst part is that many of those who fall for this lie are some of the worst off, financially speaking. And they’re often surrounded by people in similar positions.
They know they’re fucked. They’ll watch neighbors lose homes, avoid doctors, go through times when they can’t pay bills, etc.
Then they’ll turn around and vote against their own interests. Against the interests of those they’re close to.
Fucking wild that the propoganda machines are that powerful.
I believe it works so well on those who are in a bad financial situation because whatever little money they make, they want to/need to keep as much of it as possible.
That makes them an easy target of “we’re going to lower taxes.” While of course only doing it for the wealthy and screaming the left wants to give your hard earned money to lazy people, immigrants, sex changes or whatever marginalized group is the flavour of the year to attack.
Probably a very American thing, the richest country in the world that, for some mad reason, never decided to offer single payer subsidised healthcare for all its residents.

None of this applies to me but the avoiding doctors part. Am I up in here with a bunch of multi millionaires or something?

Our 1% make us the richest nation in the world. Everyone under them are plebs.
