As… ridiculously fucking stupid as this sounds, it is what his base wants to hear.
They don’t see “smart people” and think “people with an above average IQ” (and they sure as fuck don’t understand what “average” means). They see “intellectuals” and “college students” and “pink haired people”. Or, simply put, “people who think I am wrong”. Which is exactly what they want to hate.
They desperate for the world to be simple so that their simple, “elegant” solution and “clean, traditional living” or whatever the hell else they got going on is justified. But also they’ll ignore any times that indigineous are right about things like caring for the environment in simple, clean ways.
Put it short, they just want to be validated without putting any work in. Saw too many movies they thought were documentaries.
Our problem is, despite shocking “alternate realities” occasionally bursting through our own carefully cultivated protective bubbles, we still refuse to acknowledge that people are, in fact, doing just that, and it doesn’t matter if they’re the majority. They’re the loudest and most persistent, and that’s what got us where we are. HRC was so confident the Don couldn’t win, and I expressed alarm and said he was going to win and people poo-poohed and hand waved my concerns aside. And here we are and people are still too busy looking back, being mad an unwinnable candidate lost, while Charlie Kirk is dead, the left and LGBTQ are being banned <-- should’ve been “blamed”, but banned is the effect --and Nick "I fucked your movement baby”* Fuentes ideals are still winning.

Sure, but that doesn’t excuse anything. And if a solution looks to good to be true then you gotta back it up with studies and trials and evidence not just feelings and decades of complete failure. UBI is an elegant and simple solution and tests for it have gone well. Getting rid of regulations and taxes and expecting trickle down economics and the free market to make everything wonderful is the realm of the stupid and insane.
So even if it is “most people” there’re still two groups within it.
I’m not disagreeing! A long time ago there was a very popular tv commercial with a big, red “easy” button. It was popular because most of us wish for it, while understanding it’s the work behind the scene, often for years, decades, that makes the magic. Imagine if all we leftist regular people had the will and fortitude to get on board with the ones doing the heavy lifting what we can accomplish! It doesn’t mean we’ll even live to see results, just that we can envision a better future for everyone, if we just keep working for it…
It’s disturbingly similar to Mao’s Cultural Revolution and the extermination of the bourgeoisie. Trump’s christofascists have the Seven Mountain Mandate and the Maoists has the Four Olds.

Tbh, that’s most people, most of the time.
“Desperate” though? Most people aren’t out there living in a false reality in order to accomplish it.

It’s just this.

This is one of the best summations of stupidity I’ve seen lol. It hits so many of the hot points
Only problem is we think they are wrong because they are
