That was one of the topics in the Liberal leadership debate last night. What are their plans to win back those voters? Personally, I think it's a mixture of the high cost of living and people's ignorance that leads them to believing conservatism will fix those problems. Conservatives seem to be more willing to lie/spread disinformation that feeds into that ignorance.
Do people believe conservatism will fix those problems? Or are people feeling scared and angry, and the Cons fo a good job of validating those feelings?
Because the attitude I'm seeing is far more "fuck the guys in charge" than it is "the right will fix things". It seems way more about picking a team, and feeling a sense of accomplishment and catharsis for getting a win by proxy, and getting to say "fuck you" to someone, than it does about believing things will get better.
