5. They have been told that government is inefficient and wastes money.

They think government programs equal socialism and communism. It is propaganda for big business. They are too brainwashed to learn that healthcare systems in other nations cost half of what America pays with much better life expectancy. They are too brainwashed to understand that they are personally benefiting from programs such as Social Security, Medicare, law enforcement, etc. I speak about members of my in-law family--all pro-Trump and anti-government.
