"take a government handout so you can leave the only town you've ever known and drastically change your way of life" wouldn't have won many votes with these people either. "even if you don't, we'll fight to keep the social programs that provide you with your disability checks and your rural hospitals going" would have been a good thing to add, but nope the controlled opposition isn't even allowed to flaunt its actual former accomplishments

So many jobs are becoming able to work remotely. Why not create a council that works with companies that can get them retrained to work remotely. poo poo, even if it's working a call center for the IRS or something. Just source them out to Jobobs in bumblefuck nowhere. Almost every phone system has these capabilities today. You don't need to have them all packed into a room at a single location anymore. All the manual labor jobs are already eliminated mostly from robots. Even if coal came back, it would be machines doing the work, not the people sitting in a room screaming.

What is it with farmers and being big supporters of policies/politicians that will disproportionately and obviously hurt them? Like, UK farmers voting to leave the organization that pays them a significant subsidy, gives them easy access to a much larger market, and whose rules allows them to easily and legally have a bunch of Poles come work cheaply. The last bit has an extra funny conclusion, since legally nothing has changed yet - but it convinced a bunch of potential seasonal workers that the UK was too racist for the low pay to be worth it, so they stayed at home and produce was left to rot in the fields instead.

They'll vote for whoever says vaguely nice things about them, even if the policies actively gently caress them over. Conservatives like to throw them a few bones while everyone else ignores them. Down under at least some vote Greens.

A Buttery Pastry posted:I guess what amazes me is that they seem extra retarded compared to the usual uninformed voter, who at least have the excuse of being more removed from the business side of things than the guy who sets up deals with foreigners to buy his produce. Or who literally gets paid by the EU for merely owning agricultural land. Though at least in the latter case, this actually does seem to have swayed people toward not leaving the EU, even if some are all like "What???! The EU is gonna stop giving me free money when we leave the EU???" now. I suppose being incredibly dumb would explain why so many farmers have financial difficulties though. Some people have a weird blindspot where they just don’t see things that help them as part of the government. Government is politicians and regulations and PC culture and gay marriage. Government isn’t roads or subsidies or corporate welfare.

I don't live in the US, but in my country too people who benefit from welfare and get all sorts of help also often vote for the right-wing populists who like to take that sort of thing away. I would blame Lindsey O. Graham posted:lack of education but also sheer spite and the fact that the aforementioned populists manage to appear more confident than anyone else because they're the most retarted. I mean, you'd think it wouldn't work to go up on the podium and just go "I'm smart and know what I'm doing" to thundering applause but welp.

Conservatives all over the world have made a lot of effort to cultivate this mindset, demonising 'hand-outs' with the subtle implication that medicare, subsidies and military benefits don't count because Good (white) people use them, while dirty poors (blacks and browns) get hand-outs and live high as welfare queens. Really, you can show exactly the numbers as to how little welfare and food stamps go in the USA, and people will insist that the blacks somehow get their own special extras.
