  • Either lack of critical thinking or driven by greed.

    You get the top to vote for you by ensuring they keep and/or increase their riches. That’s done by immediate things like tax cuts, or other long term strategies like cutting environmental protections and reducing the role of gov’t, allowing businesses to rape the planet and abuse their workforce as hard as possible to increase profits.

    As for the rest of his supporters, the “MAGA” crowd, they’re kept in line by keeping them stupid, allowing you to more easily feed them propaganda and influence their emotions to fit your needs. Religion teaches them to be subservient from an early age and take a back seat to a higher power, whether that be god or the charismatic talking head at the alter or on tv, all the while leeching as much money from them as possible without leaving them totally destitute. This helps explain why conservatives/religious turds continue to attack early education (less chance of them learning to think critically and question things), school lunch programs (hinder brain development), libraries (access to other ideas/beliefs), sex education and abortions (keeping those accidental pregnancies from being stopped, thereby ensuring the already uneducated and poor families continue to have kids they cannot support financially and give a good education to). It’s all very sinister when you look at the whole picture. It’s why I detest religion, not so much the concept and practicing of religion, but how evil men have turned it into a weapon, and exploiting the very people they pretend to care about. A lot of the evil they push is all done under the guise of religious beliefs/freedoms.

    If everyone being oppressed is rallied together then it’s an immensely powerful force, but those at the top are always working to keep us divided, uneducated, and poor.

    You can’t unite the people together until you educate them more. You can’t educate them more until you remove them from poverty. You can’t get them out of poverty until you redistribute the wealth. You can’t redistribute the wealth until you forcibly take it from the ruling class. You can’t force my take it until you unite the people together, etc. etc.

    That or you wait until food and water is so scarce that the majority of the population becomes concerned if they can survive in the short term. But that’s a wildcard situation that could go in any direction.
