I would really like to have a real psychological analysis of this behavior.
It’s not like this is the first time, people vote against their interests and against their better knowledge everywhere and all the time. Are they really just that stupid?
That’s the thing, it’s not tied to a specific nation.
Here in Germany, poor people are voting for a party that wants to abolish minimum wage, unemployment benefits and healthcare. Farmers were protesting last year against a reduction of subsidies - and they supported a party that wants to abolish all of their subsidies.
Look at brexit, Meloni, Geert Wilders, Milei. It’s the same everywhere.
I mean it’s not that complicated. Most people struggle, often financially. You have someone promising the world. You have someone who blames the former establishment for your problems and offers simple easy to digest solutions for problems that are much more complicated. All of this is going to sound compelling and frankly he had a number of easy lay ups this electrician race. Honestly the Democrats botched this whole race. It was half Biden who nobody saw as fit and Kamela came in too late, had the weight of any one displeased with Biden’s tenure and let’s face it, was both black and a women, two thighs the US has a historically mixed run with.
Obviously this is a platform of lies but that’s all you need to get in.
Sadly, a lot of them voted for Elon’s buddy.

It’s a national culture. Greed and hate.

But it’s also not that complicated to see through his lies. Or any demagogues for that matter.
That’s what I mean by “against better knowledge”. They have to willfully ignore the warning signs and contradictions. And that I don’t understand.
