Chuds in the distinct sense of the word do not own public opinion. Public opinion is usually well to their left and it is part of their constant rhetorical trickery to try to obfuscate this fact. That’s part of where “silent majority” comes from: inventing their own popularity.
I get what you’re saying (that the public in general is more susceptible to leftist ideas because most people are workers). However by in large in most liberal “democracies” especially in the imperialist nations, conservatives drive the public discourse because they own every single media (even the ones chuds paint as “communist”) and the largest social media political commentators.
Chuds and conservatives aren’t the same thing. There is a solid argument that most of the population is conservative, but what I was referencing wasn’t some general idea that you can reach workers but the observable polling data from bourgeois institutions showing that the public supports many “leftist” policies like M4A.

Huh? People who identify as “conservative” always say the most disgusting fascistic shit ever.
Aside from that, I guess I can agree.
Indeed, but there are countless people who are conservative but generally wouldn’t identify that way. Those are typically Democrats.
