Yeah, what the fuck?

      How many of those people have had their material conditions actually worsen, though? Most of those people look like they have clean, new, lifted trucks. They just look like disillusioned suburbanites who think Biden and BLM are coming to steal their lawn.

          The real wages for an average American has not risen for 40 years and has, in fact, declined.

          These aren't average Americans. They're petite bourgeoisie to bourgeoisie suburbanites who have become richer in the past 40 years.

          Nothing you said is false, but you're classifying these people as working class and they're largely not. Their material interests seem fine to them, and they are losing it because they feel under attack from "Communist Democrats" who are going to come steal all their "hArD eArNeD mOnEy" in my opinion.

          The working class people you describe, by and large, aren't Trump supporters.

        They're in massive debt and they're terrified that the tire store franchise they own will go under, and then they'll have to get regular jobs, and they've seen how those people are treated because they've been the ones doing it.
