    That’s because “stand up and fight for people like you” doesn’t mean working class or blue collar or any geographic or socioeconomic class. It means bigots. Trump is willing to be a bigot out loud. He’s willing to fight for legislation that oppresses people that bigots don’t like.

      Assholes are pissed that the culture is shifting more and more in ways that punish assholery (look at the backlash against “Woke”). More and more, pushing back on that in a form of pro asshole culture war, collective action of assholes if you will, seems to the glue binding conservatives together.

      Certainly, the only thing that the predatory corporate rich really have in common with racist yeehawdees / Christian nationalists / conspiracy nut jobs is that they don’t like been called out and held accountable for their bullshit.

      If Trump gets reelected it’ll be time to start adding riders to all his bills. A new bill to allow discrimination against some group? Fine, add a rider that White people cannot participate. A major tax break for billionaires? Cool, but it can’t apply to white people. A reform to create millions of new jobs? Sure but the positions can only be filled by POC. Stop his bigotry at every turn by simply preventing white people from enjoying the benefits and see how far he gets. Sure these actions will probably be called out as racism, but then you can ask why he is only trying to pass laws that benefit people of a single color.
