They're not stupid. Those women know what they voted for, and they know the harm it may cause. There's just something people find desirable about fascism.

I like Xe. I don't understand why people balk at when the alternative "they" is so often said to be confusing.

The people objectively want a better economy. For whatever reason they're willing to put tariffs on themselves just to stick it to companies operating overseas. That's right wing economic populism.

It's entirely possible to do economic populism without class conflict. But the people yearn for class conflict.

Well yeah, we like the immigrants.
