The far right are largely the people voting against robust safety nets and low inequality...

The leaders of the right are against a robust safety net, yes.

Populist right voters however hate socialism but also want the government to keep their hands off their medicare and social security.

  • And vehemently oppose any expansion of those things to people they want to suffer. Populist right voters hate the idea that there isn’t someone “below” them and will vigorously and violently oppose any attempts to alter the pecking order. Let’s not make excuses, here.

That is true, but there is still the rest of the country, and Trump’s ratings are dropping as everyone finds out they don’t like fascism. I’m hoping we don’t just go back to business as usual.
