This distracts heavily from the fact that over the past 40 years the middle class was systematically eroded and people have much less economic security.
Turns out people are against "change" when all the change they experience is being fucked over.
Theres a reason FDR was wildly popular with the people. The great depression really fucked over people, but FDR policies gave the people a lot of new opportunities to pull themselves out of litterally slums while instilling labor rights and helped propelled the next generation into the largest economy booms of all time.
