To be fair, I think it’s rather the average MAGA doesn’t actually know what they want.
All they know is they want good jobs with good pay and good work life balance without needing a degree, just like grandpappy.
They don’t know labor history due to their lack of education, and their hatred of the educated makes it difficult for them to want to learn, because they’re distrustful.
I don’t think they materially want things much different than we do, but their lack of education makes them easily propagandized. They want simple answer and simple solutions, because the complex ones make them feel like they’re being talked down to, because they don’t understand a word of it. So they reject it all for easy to understand racist tropes (the racist tropes make them feel powerful, the opposite of being talked down to).
