Most people would be happy to live under an auroritarian regime as long as 1) the persecution happened to other people, 2) they were economically comfortable. This is why pointing your finger at fascism is a pitifully ineffective electoral strategy -- no one cares.

The only way to convince most people of something is to make it about *them*: "you will pay more for health care, you will pay more taxes"... that gets attention. Saying "people you don't know will die from this" just doesn't move the needle.

When people are biased, there's little hope. If they are unemployed & healthy, they may prefer to pay more for healthcare (they think they'll never need) and face a job market w/ less competition (even if that's a fiction) Several references here: https://www.meneame.net/notame/3095534
