I never really liked this explanation. I live in a very conservative province and many of my friends are like this.
NONE of them suffer from this delusion.
What it is is that they believe that the government is intentionally impoverishing working class people (which is true) and that this is partially the fault of poor people, this myth that there’s a huge mass of people riding the system on their backs. They often see the rich as having worked incredibly hard for their money (they often don’t) and don’t understand the difference between their uncle who’s a millionaire that actually did work hard and billionaires that buy politicians and control our society to enrich themselves on the backs of the working class.
Because a lot of Americans think they can become part of the smaller group if they work hard enough.
Yep. Some people genuinly believe they are ‘temporary embarrassed billionaires’
