They seek simple answers to every problem. They also like to shirk responsibility of their actions and blame others for their own inadequacies. Thus they glam onto those who will say populist memes and word salad that affirms their frustration and ignorance. You get locked into that parallel universe and soon up is down and you're voting against your own interests.
