Propaganda is incredibly powerful.
That's very dismissive of the failures the former ruling party had. It's hard to drum up votes for the guy considered responsible for tanking your county's economy and spiking the poverty rate.
Like I agree, him winning is unfortunate and short sighted, but I think blaming the victims isn't going to do anything other than help asshats like him win.
I'm not attempting to victim-blame; nobody is completely immune to propaganda and it's not the fault of the working class that we're bombarded by it constantly. Often people have no clue they're being lied to all their lives. When they make decisions based on faulty information that's shoved at them for decades by the rich and powerful, the working people are not to blame; the people who make the propaganda are.
