  • An interesting take. I assume most people on lemmy are more politically engaged than the average citizen. We can recognize political affiliation from a mile away, and we know (for the most part) what kind of person that makes someone.

    Why do you think, after hundreds of years of modern politics, that the average person doesn’t recognize when an opportunistic piece of shit right-wing populist is speaking?

    This is what gets me, in Ontario, we have a conservative government that publicly fails at doing literally everything, publicly wastes taxpayer money, everyone complains about them, and nobody voices their support. However, they’re poised to take a 3rd term with a majority government and they poll far and away better than any of the other parties that skew centrist or left of center. We have a rap sheet a mile long of on-brand conservative policies that everyone hates but can’t stop voting for.
