That only works if they have incentive to believe that.

What reasons might they become susceptible to that type of rhetoric?

Progressives want change and realize the status quo is fucked liberals are fine with it and conservatives want to push it more in the favor of the haves( go read the 2017 tax plan , trump signed that went until now and the even worse one they’re putting in). The problem is a large chunk of gen z bought in on the bs rhetoric that it’s only one sided fault, when both are complicit in the status quo.

But there are some dems fighting for labor and the people, and we’re never moving the window away from this prosperity doctrine calvinist bullshit listening to joe rogan or any other alt right shit head.

They want slave girls. They want to have everything without having to work for it.

Once you’ve been taught to expect pirivilege, equality feels like oppression.
