I just don't get it. Every time a right wing government people get fucked and more fucked. Arguably even with left governments, but brexit / trump / bosonaro level fucked it's is hard to achieve..

And people still vote for these train wrecks..

What am I missing? What do I need to do get it? Lower my iq seems to be a possible answer, but I'm really struggling to see it

I have theory might be crazy but what the hell. Think about some phrasing. We tell people when they do something good they do the RIGHT thing. Majority of humans are RIGHT handed.

Everything good is gear towards the going RIGHT. We even record advanments like time, and progress as moving to the RIGHT.

Here in America our calendar move to the RIGHT.

So maybe that might be why we keep moving RIGHT politically even though that is a horrible thing.

Because anything to the LEFT is seen as bad.

You're on to something here.

It's a sinister plot.
