That’s a hypothesis certainly… I’m pretty skeptical and they don’t provide any evidence whatsoever.
My take is that this dissatisfaction is driven by cripplingly high housing costs among low income people. Of course, people need to realize that it’s going to take far more than abstaining from supporting Joe Biden to solve their problems. But we’ve been trained for our whole lives to think that voting is the only way we can influence decision making in society.
Yes, lack of housing is a serious problem that needs to be fixed. I would have supported the January 6th insurrectionists if they were demanding housing and an end to corporate bribery instead of trying to extend the reign of the fascist orange turd 🍄
