Sure, people want free shipping and do like Amazon's convenience; but they also want Amazon to pay taxes to help pay for the USPS infrastructure that allows for rural and far-flung communities to receive *subsidized* delivery. This stuff is obvious once you step out of DC-bubble.

In any case, my point isn't about this moment. There is going to be competent and more coherent versions of these sentiments—that are somewhat orthogonal to beltway political divides—from across the political spectrum, and we'll likely see a lot of it in 2020, and even in 2018.

Maybe they just disagree with your point. You're trying to explain why people can be moved by a set of incoherent and contradictory policies, when I think it's more easily explained by tribalism.
