I'm not sure that the voters don't care -- it's mostly that they don't know. Because they are being constantly flooded with messaging that screams in other directions: "it's the immigrants!!" "it's trans people!" "it's those f*ing libs!!" "it's those MAGA idiots!!" etc. etc.
And because these things are complicated, it's hard to boil them down to a few words that stick with voters, and attempts to do so come off as "West/East Coast Elitism". This is why populism is great for large monopolistic corporations so long as it can be channeled away from them (which they spend a great deal of money on).
