In that light, it makes sense to me why wealthy libertarian capitalists are able to appeal to poor libertarian workers, despite it being "against their own interests" from a rational perspective. Must just be enough of a subset of workers who place certain cultural values above rational economic judgements, and it makes sense to me. I disagree of course, but it makes sense.
Lately I've been thinking of the whole libertarian MAGA big lie crowd as "knowing the truth" and the technocratic (qua expert-trusting) democracy-trusting crowd as "understanding the facts" - that is, a sort of epistemic rift whereby the former side trusts their gut over their rationality, and the latter arguably vice versa.
Of course, I also see an intellectual asymmetry here, but my noocratic tendencies I feel have been made abundantly clear around these parts.
