Promises to improve their ‘condition’ was a very good recruiting mechanism for Liberals.
However, NOW Liberals can't get and hold voters without incessantly re educating them that they are betrayed, oppressed, cheated, etc.
There is NO lie the uneducated and disaffected misfits LOVE so much as the one that they are being exploited and swindled! Of course ...KEEPING them uneducated and disaffected is paramount! That's easy, if you compromise the educators and the media.
I agree completely with one caveat:
I would hesitate to include the "uneducated" in there, because, let's face it, EVERYONE is uneducated in any number of things. It is that constant education as we go through life that shapes us.
I get exactly what you are driving at, but there are many uneducated people who don't love those kinds of lies, but instead feel anger and betrayal when they encounter the discovery of truth that can often follow an intentional and manipulative lie.
That said...Lefism DOES prey on the "disaffected" who, in their un-educated" status often bathe in their disaffection, and are ripe for the siren song of Leftism, even when they clearly have evidence of reality.
I have always felt that it is that knowledge of the lie, yet accepting it as truth, is a fundamental reason for the massive level of cognitive dissonance and associated mental pathologies that can be found in the Left.
