I think Chomsky talked about this when discussing the “Angry White Male” phenomenon back in the 90s. That’s why things like Faux were running at a loss for something like 5 years, why there is wingnut welfare everywhere, why hate radio is everywhere, why the Regnery Press exists, and so on.
They are happy if these people are angry (and they are justified to be angry) and then they can “educate” them as to how it’s the fault of uppity women, people with degrees, liberals, people in cities, POC, gays, trans, foreigners who are not “grateful” enough, and definitely the fault of the Democrats…
If they can’t learn, then they should at least suffer for their ignorance. The rest of us have to, because of their choices, so it should be worse for them.
