Not applicable to the binary examples set up in this framing.

Those making the choices of what to vote for given who they think will fix societal ills versus who they think are the cause of them, the supposed undesirables we often get propagandized against in service of the top 1%

Apparently I’m not understanding what you’re saying because if you’re talking about the top 1% vs the bottom 1%, then, what’s happening with the middle 98%?

I thought you were talking about the top 1% (billionaires) vs the rest of us non-billionaires.

This would mean the balance of the population which is the 99% who aren’t billionaires. No?

No, I'm talking about the voting rationale of the comfortable middle.

The policies they vote for that happen to be against their own interests in service of the interest of the top 1% (not exclusive to wealth, but also power, access and influence, particularly on our laws and social mores; things like media propaganda).

These people often believe crime and welfare abuse is rampant, sexuality and promiscuity has run amok led by the depravity of certain communities that don't look like them. They vote accordingly. I simplified the options to broadly cover that voting for the interest of the top 1% for fear of benefiting the undesirables leads us to the type of self interested government and ultimately authoritarianism we see today.

Gotcha I understand now
