The question you should be asking yourself isn't "why are stupid people in charge?" It's "who is susceptible to this messaging and why is it working?"

There are too many, especially in Alberta, who think they do. Much as I saw when Ford first got elected, ppl have swallowed the lie that they’re paying for slackers and believe they’ll never need the systems and services they vote to cut. And then they’re shocked when they do, in fact, need those.

I could not agree more. One of the biggest challenges in BC is the health authorities and navigating between them. The BC NDP have been working to address some of the biggest issues but goodness it’s not great yet.

“We must do what they fear--tell the truth, spread the truth. This is the most power weapon against this regime of liars, thieves, and hypocrites. Everyone has this weapon. So make use of it.”
— Alexei Navalny

To think this is applicable today, to us in the USA is simply unimaginable.
