Which is most people. I want to go into their homes and break all their stuff. A lot of this has to do with how we process the events of our lives. We're pretty much hardwired to see things in a narrative context, which in turn makes it difficult to understand that our lives are mostly just a pretty random, meaningless sequence of events. It's hard to pull signal from the noise of everything that's ever happened to you, so it's easier to believe that your hard work led you to where you are today. That awful, minimum wage job that you were I really don't know how you break through this. Leftist policies all but demand that people accept that life is far more out of their control than they'd like to believe. You're trying to sell safety nets to people who believe that they aren't ever going to fall down.

Phyzzle posted:An interesting new term is "politiphobia". It seems to sum up so, so many people I know IRL. Isn't this just another way of describing low information voters? You're really just talking about people who haven't spent enough time researching actual policy to have a meaningful opinion.
