Do not misconstrue this as implying the working class opposes social leftism, because it doesn’t. It only seems that way because the only party offering economic hope – false hope, but hope nevertheless – is doing it by scapegoating (brown) immigrants.

      More like bro does know that none of that stuff meaningfully moved the needle for the working class. If it had, there wouldn’t have been a winning margin of voters rejecting Harris for Trump and citing the economy as the reason!
