People happily vote for some reactionary Republican (who is going to screw them and their family) because they really think they're saving the country from Communism.
The US Right has splendid history of getting this spectacularly wrong, for sure, not least in the case of Tailgunner Joe, who couldn't distinguish an establishment wood from a Commie tree. But far worse, surely, is the plight of the ordinary Joe, who votes Democrat (or New Labour, for that matter) and gets Wall Street (or a fervent member of the Henry Jackson Society, which amounts to the same thing).
Hence the attempt to correct the appalling title from the Daily Blackshirt article.
"There are three sorts of conspiracy: by the people who complain, by the people who write, by the people who take action. There is nothing to fear from the first group, the two others are more dangerous; but the police have to be part of all three,"
