Thanks for a great comment, @soo.chong163!

I believe you are quite right that a lot of those who feel "hopeless and lost" find a measure of comfort in supporting ideas and causes that might work as a sort of "reset button" that would send those who are clearly more intelligent, wealthy, successful or whatever... "back to the stone age."

It is a trend that has long been a concern... the way it feels like more and more people are reaching for a lower common denominator, rather than striving to reach a higher one.
