While yes, that is part of the solution, there are also people that simply think that way. They think they are better, that they deserve X, and thus vote that way. Unless you fundamentally change their mind or promise then what they want, you will not get their vote.
As a German. I got to see that lot of AFD voters are alcohol addicted people who would rather blame the failure of their marriage/life/etc on immigrants rather than facing the reality that it was their own fault. So they vote AFD. It’s pathetic tbh
The nuts part is that AfD voters aren’t even that right-wing. Lots of people there who are actually socialists (they’re largely from the east, after all) but are absolutely fed up and don’t see another way. BSW will wreck absolute havoc on the AfD’s results for that reason alone. I have my issues with their foreign policy but damn we need a party that actually advocates for expropriating landlords, if only to cut through capitalist realism the otherwise largely labor-aristoctrat rest of the left is stuck in. It’s not VW workers who have trouble making rent.
It’s not their fault the precariat has been getting shafted for a good 30 years now and HartzIV sends tons of people into disability welfare: Out of the employment statistics, out of mind. At least you can’t get sanctioned once you’re an alcoholic. “Those bums should just study at university and get a job” is peak liberal deflection, how about making it possible to live in dignity on a hair stylist’s wage instead, how about making sure that not 30% of employment contracts are precarious, but 0%, so that you can actually plan a life instead of worrying that the subcontractor of a subcontractor you work for goes into wilful bankruptcy to lay you off.

This has a fascist level “unwilling to examine why so many people are deeply miserable in liberal society” take on why people become fascists.

Yeah maybe a pub isn’t the most representative sample of the precariat. Try the Tafel.
