I read somewhere that people will tend to vote in their best interest, unless they are fearful.
I’d always wondered why poor rural folk would repeatedly vote to lower their quality of life in order to improve that of the wealthiest five percent.
It all comes down to fear. Fear of terrorists, brown people, high taxes, being gay, wolves, bears, whatever.
Make them afraid and they’ll happily chose to surrender everything.
