Keep in mind that in EU countries, people may often vote more "emotionally" than logically. People know that EU and NATO act as a shield, so whichever government is in control , there will always be a level of "protection" from crazy endeavors. (e.g. look how people vote in greece). I am certain that, without EU or NATO, people would think twice about where they vote.
- ck2 10y agoIt's not just the EU, in the US Trump enjoys a huge "emotional" support as people vote from what they "feel" has been happening to the country vs reality. They get double their emotional return because they feel like he also thinks with his emotions, aka "gut feeling" about everything instead of actually being educated about it. In the US, middle-class and low-income are NOTORIOUS for voting against themselves, election after election after election, putting right-wing policy in place that basically crushes them slowly. Kansas is a textbook study of the final outcome of such behavior. I call it "f\\k your neighbor voting" because people don't see it as voting against themselves at all but rather they hate their neighbors so much they think these policies will make others suffer and that makes them satisfied.
