It is a religion/cult because it depends on faith that the demagogues are showing the one true path to a better life without working for it. Follow the rules of the cult and you will magically be lifted out of your lousy existence.

The people pushing it are wealthy, so the marks assume that if they follow the program they will become wealthy. When it doesn’t work, blame the Other, the sinners that blocking ‘paradise’ from being realized.

If people actually learn how the world works they will realize it was a con, so you have to destroy the education system and belittle those who are educated.

I think of supply-side as “doodoo economics” … pursue it in real life and you’re in deep doodoo.

How do people become so attached to an ideology that even its demonstrable deviation from fact does not sway them? Is it like religion?

There are several other Henri videos around, Jams, and I love them as they really have the feel of the movie genre they satirize.
