Because they think: if I have to suffer, everyone has to suffer. If someone hurts someone, I support it because I want to hurt people.

Surveys seem to suggest Luigi approval isn’t that high, something like 18% overall and 41% for youth.
Actually, that 41% would be the more questionable vote but then again both parties love insurance companies so there really isn’t a clear way to vote for universal healthcare, lol

The politics of the ignorant.
People want a world where they are rulers over everyone and everything and often many people just can’t understand that there are other living, independent, free thinking individuals in the world. Most people see other humans as a hindrance to their own enjoyment of life.
They love Luigi Mangione because he is against the private health system that is stealing their money … but at the same time they like Trump because he is against any socialized sharing of government resources - they believe that government should help only them or the worthy and not just everyone, especially those they think are unworthy.
It’s a belief system that is based on the individual and only the individual at the cost of everyone else.
Ask yourself how people can whine for years that people like Pearl, Rittenhouse and Stanley, all clear cases of self defense (or defense of others), are murderers, and then turn around and cheer for a literal (alleged) murderer. Don’t mistake me, in all four cases the victims had it coming for their behavior, but the cognitive dissonance on display would give many a headache trying to rationalize.
Lol so mad
Nice bait
I guess when you can’t deny you’ve heard exactly what I’m talking about come out of the mouths of people think self defense should be charged as murder, all you can muster is a pithy accusation of baiting.
Baited

Believe it or not, some of the people cheering him on actually just like chaos and violence and don’t have any deeper politics.
I do not believe you. I believe that it shows that the elections were not true to the opinions of the people.
That’s a very naive view of the reality of the U.S. Healthcare system.
This seems like a slur.
Folks saying racism are wrong. It is an -ism though, just not that one. IMO it’s Classism. Same reason they flip shit when someone mentions raising the minimum wage. “Flipping burgers is for teens”, meanwhile 1pm on a Tuesday they’re getting a Whopper completely oblivious to the fact that there isn’t a single person under 30 working there.
They’re not single issue voters?
Or at least not that issue single issue.
It’s simple:
The free market works as long as we get rid of these evil people.
Oh why can’t we have a Bruce Wayne who is altruistic and would save us since we clearly can’t trust the public to hold a lot of power.
My wife explains it like this:
Racism.
White voters will cut off their own nose before granting health care to black and brown people.
Once upon a time I’d believe that was all it is/was. I’m convinced now it’s more of an uninformed voter thing. “My dad/family/church/friend votes republican and he’s a good guy. Besides Fox says if the demoncrats win they’ll destroy everything I care about. Sure there’s talk about racism/sexism/etc but I don’t personally see it or have a problem with minorities, LGBTQ, or women, it’s probably just political mudslinging. There’s no way the people I love would support them if they really said those things.”
They’re very stupid. Most adults have reading comprehension below a 6th grade level
Most adults think they have a higher than average IQ, too. Quite the coincidence, don’t you think?
No.
They have higher than median HQ. Not average.
Selfishness is the sister of greed
I had this argument with my mom the other day. She agrees private healthcare is a broken system and needs to be fixed, but you bring up public healthcare and she’ll fight tooth and nail to argue against it. It’s insane. Literal “no take, only throw” tier mindset
Propaganda. People have been told their whole lives that socialism is pure evil, nevermind what socialism actually is. Public healthcare is socialism, therefore it’s evil.
They support him for different reasons, and half of those people are unbelievably dumb.
