I read the proposals and a sane person would be aghast at them. But his consistent voter turnout in the primaries shows the scary reality of human nature.
"Free stuff" is a powerful motivator and once received an even more powerful and incredibly addictive narcotic, and "we'll make those rich ass holes whom you envy and hate pay for it all" is an even bigger draw.
Most people do not think beyond the sphere of their own day to day lives and look for someone else to blame for all their troubles. That's what makes communism and class warfare so attractive - you get free stuff you don't have to work for and at the same time we punish the people who are 110% responsible for your life sucking like it does 'cause, ya know, it just can't be anything you're doing.
Anyone with half a brain can see how it absolutely kills the soul - three generations and counting of black and white trash welfare recipients, anybody? - and how it destroys countries.
But hey! Free Stuff!
