It works because the average Fox News viewer:
- Is old, and already has Medicare, and doesn’t want it changed.
- Is retired and would see no benefit from a 32 hour work week
- is old, and sees environmental regulations as costs to them now with benefits in a future they won’t see
- Is old and retired and would see no benefit from free college
- is old and probably owns a house substantially paid off, and would see no benefit from a government housing program
- is a selfish asshole who doesn’t want others to enjoy these benefits, not even their own children
