As… ridiculously fucking stupid as this sounds, it is what his base wants to hear.
They don’t see “smart people” and think “people with an above average IQ” (and they sure as fuck don’t understand what “average” means). They see “intellectuals” and “college students” and “pink haired people”. Or, simply put, “people who think I am wrong”. Which is exactly what they want to hate.
They desperate for the world to be simple so that their simple, “elegant” solution and “clean, traditional living” or whatever the hell else they got going on is justified. But also they’ll ignore any times that indigineous are right about things like caring for the environment in simple, clean ways.
Put it short, they just want to be validated without putting any work in. Saw too many movies they thought were documentaries.
Sure, but that doesn’t excuse anything. And if a solution looks to good to be true then you gotta back it up with studies and trials and evidence not just feelings and decades of complete failure. UBI is an elegant and simple solution and tests for it have gone well. Getting rid of regulations and taxes and expecting trickle down economics and the free market to make everything wonderful is the realm of the stupid and insane.
So even if it is “most people” there’re still two groups within it.
It’s disturbingly similar to Mao’s Cultural Revolution and the extermination of the bourgeoisie. Trump’s christofascists have the Seven Mountain Mandate and the Maoists has the Four Olds.

This is one of the best summations of stupidity I’ve seen lol. It hits so many of the hot points

It’s just this.
Tbh, that’s most people, most of the time.

Only problem is we think they are wrong because they are
