I equate this Koolaid drinking to gambling.
Addicted gamblers always lose, and big time. Yet the allure of winning big so they can kick back and do nothing the rest of their lives is overwhelming. So they continue on, with their false hopes being the cause of future losses. Eventually they are ruined.
With envy they look at successful people. This could even be the next door trucker pulling in well over 100 grand a year. And the Trucker has all the toys and vacations the gamble wants but cannot have.
Both the lefty voter and the gambler have something in common, they are hate filled and never happy.
Truckers average $70K/yr if they are lucky.
I never saw it that way but you have a great point. Come to think of it, most lefties I know are miserable people and want handouts because of their “life situations”.
