And I suppose it's just human nature.

The same thing, for instance, explains Milei's victory in Argentina recently.

Women voted against him - but many men backed him, because they saw him as "the rich man's candidate - and the rich create the jobs."

("plus - my boss is for him, so I should be too if I know what's good for me" )

The result: misrule (by decree), and depression.

The average voter down there has lost over 20% of their buying power (in three months!) - assuming they still have a job at all.

Unemployment, which was down to 5.4% by the time Fernández left office, is probably now in double digits.
