I think the average Trump supporter is reachable—and if you have the resources of a government, as you seem to be imagining, I think they are reachable at scale. This is the 21st century, at this point the experts know how to influence people. Generations of marketers, academics, and psyops specialists have studied this problem. The knowledge is out there. If the CIA can spin up a color revolution, we can reeducate chuds.
But this all assumes a peacetime scenario where a communist government presides over a large population of chuds lol. Idk if that would happen in real life. Others can weigh in, I have no idea.
lmao, found it, holy shit
“We are in danger of producing an educated proletariat,” announced Reagan advisor Roger A. Freeman during a press conference on Oct. 29, 1970. Freeman, an economics professor at Stanford, was also an advisor to President Richard Nixon. “We have to be selective on who we allow to go through [higher education],” Freeman added.

My current guess is something like misanthropy or subconscious classism. I think they're scared of mass insurrection because they look down on the mass public. I feel like I often hear them voice sweeping negative opinions about human nature, like "people are stupid," "people are gullible," "people are greedy." My hunch is that this sentiment can be challenged and corrected, if their personality isn't too malignant and they don't have some innate need to feel better than other people.
