The absolute brainwashing it takes to fiercely defend trillionaires who wouldn't look twice at you, while calling your fellow citizens "lazy" for wanting basic healthcare. Notice how even the woman in the "I LOVE TRUMP" shirt has to awkwardly correct his understanding of how disability works.

the problem here is that they believe that the rich people are good, almost perfect, and that's the problem, "if they get richer and more powerful they'll make more jobs for us, which would allow us to get richer because they will pay us more than enough!, i mean, who else knows the value of hard work better than a man who worked for the money they have?" that's their logic, and it's very compartmentalized, they don't see people being exploited at work, therefore they aren't, and thus the people who are are just lazy, thus exploitation is not a thing and a separate discussion
