A lot of people really do have a gambler mindset where they think that they just need to get lucky and then they’ll be fine. And they just base everything on the assumption that they’re going to be one of the tiny percentage of people who make it.
I suspect a lot of it comes down to capitalist realism. People know the system is rigged, that their life sucks, and that voting is just theatre. Thinking that you’re going to win the lottery becomes a coping mechanism.

if only these people would talk to each other because they’re a huge majority of the people out there.
