Simple, under this system the more desperate folks undercut him. They don't see the rules of the game are what is causing that. They couldn't imagine a system under other rules, except for Stalinist nightmares. So crushing the people who undermine them is the only option they can imagine (and have been lead to believe by the preachers of hate)
