The point is that those voters the government has made dependent on government programs, are bought and paid for voters, voting in their own self interest.
He’s suggesting this invalidates the “low information” tag.
I disagree due to the fact they fail to recognize they’ve been intentionally trapped into dependence on the government.
Instead, they believe the lie that conservatives and big business have trapped them in that environment.
From what I remember, LIV started with a position statement from one of the many democrat consultants regarding how to message during the 2012s. Low info voters are all about their phones, their reality shows, their music and have an imaginary first name basis relationship with pop stars and athletes. They consider themselves in touch but in reality, they have no idea and live in a bubble created by the coastal media/cultural complexes. Their opinions come straight from the mouths of the stars they believe they have a personal relationship with not from study and contemplative thought.
Only if you think these people are highly-competent people kept down by the welfare system. The reality is that most of these are probably low-competence folks who would be working at low-paid service jobs that paid less than welfare if the welfare system went away. Saying that they could do better outside of the welfare system is like saying that you could be a semi-pro football player if you only tried harder. Brainpower, like athleticism, is mostly hard-wired.
I don’t think these people are unaware of their dependance on the state. They know very well that they’re dependent and vote for further dependency by voting for Democrats. Their hatred of business is more or less fueled by their desire not to work. A good number of these people like the state they’re in. It’s easy, they can do what they want without owing anyone else their time. Sure, they can never get ahead but if one doesn’t care about getting ahead then it makes logical sense to favor dependency.
