Some like Alex Jones are numb to reasons why some might support liberal governments. For instance, a lot of people face job discrimination and "being a man" is easier said than done. A can-do attitude isn't enough.

And there's a long undeniable history of racist, sexist oppression etc..  Even in my youth in the southeast USA, it was definitely there, even in the 80s and 90s.

But I do believe liberals are using many people as pawns by playing to resentment.
