[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is that both movements are rooted in purity, rejection of expertise, and anti-modernism. The alt right rallies around less benign forms of these (racial purity vs. food purity). It’s not a far journey from “back to the land” to homesteading, tradwives, idealizing women as barefoot and pregnant, and then the rolling back of women’s rights. Similarly, for people concerned about their health who pay attention to research on food additives, it’s not too much of a stretch to go from “corporations are putting profits above people” to “scientists and doctors are not to be trusted”.[/quote] Pretty much this. These people are "winnable" for Dems if they weren't tied to making everything gay/trans. Also everyone realized climate change was a scam, so that's instantly discrediting for many now [/quote]
