That is just the right wing populism playbook. They know that their most ardent voters are several chicken nuggets short of a happy meal, so they turn it into a us vs them contest, as if politics was a sport.

It works because these people lack critical thinking skills, they never ask the obvious question, "why would a billionaire do things that would harm billionaires?"

Humans are naturally tribalistic and it exists on all spectrums regardless how much you force 'education' down their throats.

Emotions, ego, bias, you name it, people just gravitate a certain way. A majority of Trump/Republican voters, I presume, are also acting on habit they're forebearers set.
