It's weird how you have some older people who, not only do they not know the lessons of history that happened before them, but they are incapable of even recognizing the parallels of history that have happened within their own lifespan.
It's not like any of this reactionary right wing populism bullshit is NEW. It pops its head up roughly once per generation. So if you're talking Boomers or older, they've seen it first hand 2 or 3 times now. And yet, so many people keep falling for it!

I don't know that it's "better messaging" but they're better able to utilize base human instincts of fear of the other, tribalism, and rally around the powerful. It's a more difficult message to spread that you should help even people who are different than you and weaker than you.

It's a sad fact that the right is better at messaging than the left.

I mean they're better at the strategic and technical aspects of messaging. Consistent message, catch presentation, that sort of thing. (Most especially the consistent—and relentless—part.)
