Pleas don't mix up uneducated or poor with stupid: without the education necessary and the time to perform a critical cause/effect analysis it's near impossible to do. Only chance is again historic education.

The conservative message is really really easy: "this X is the cause for all your problems!"

And at first glance it's easy to agree: I have a bad job. An immigrant has a better job. Of course they are the cause for me not having a job!

That's the conservatives weapon: they simplify their lies until you need time and effort to see through it - or learn from the past. They make sure that the poor don't have the chance to either and the cycle continues.

Personal note: fuck them. In every country, for every lie for every "policy".
