Shit's fucked, yo. So let's vote for the kind of people that make everything worse. I will never understand this kind of mindset.

Especially since the populists thrive on it which gives them exactly zero incentive to improve things.

Some people need an answer that's easy and quick. That answer is also always wrong but by then they stopped thinking anyway and are hooked on easy and quick.
-
"The rich stole all your money" is also an easy answer and much closer to reality. People who fall for right wing bullshit do so because it panders to their hate and resentment.
-
People voting for populists are much more likely to see the scapegoats their electees talk about in their life than an actual billionaire that exploited them, though. And there's the "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" narrative we've been forced upon, too.
-
similarly, conspiracy cranks get all up in arms about some shady group of "elites" that somehow aren't just.. billionaires and top-level politicians..
they have an actual legitimate conspiracy in front of them, presented on a fucking silver platter, and yet they completely ignore that and instead make shit up that makes no fucking sense.

Its called for voting for change...
Regular peeson doesn't care about ideology. They vote for the guy who hasn't fucked them recently.
-
Theyre comcerned about immigration, and theres literally only one option for that. Thats the actual problem here
-
And why are they so concerned about something that is, despite the obvious problems, a net positive for any developed society?
-
What on earth makes you think its a benefit to anyone but those who pay wages?
-
All the available empirical evidence that people like you so studiously ignore.
