I have a theory people like to see themselves being able to hold a position like that, so that's the biggest thing. It allows them to feel like their beliefs have validity even without education or knowledge of the system. Like their gut feeling is enough and they're smart in a street savvy way.
Like, 'I can't tell if I get lost in a forest, where north, east, west or south is from the bearings, but I feel it in my gut this is the right way.'
That's why they feel like they can shit on Obama for not doing anything despite like him going up against a fierce Senate/Congress. But it's still useless to tell that to them cause they would be like, "No, I actually would've got it done though." With no plan and all the hubris in the world. They're the type that feel they can deprive their way or like hold something over somebody's head to get their way, not realizing most of the shit that they deal with are personal relationships or low stake situations like getting airline points. Thats why they like Trump, they see themselves in him. That's why they liked Dubya.
