sorry i know its fun to be conspiratorial about everything but let me tell you from decades of experience in labour, it's totally normal to put up a tarp for this kind of thing. Not everything has to be some grand, shady mystery.
Poli Sci fact: people do not & have never had ideologically consistent beliefs. I will add this is most pronounced in times of uncertainty when people want change but do not have a developed ideological or practical program for change. That’s what political parties & other civic endeavors are for.
Sorry for the threads screenshot i stole, but this is important.
