Fuck the braindead notion that we can say "Fuck the white working class."

32. You don't have a clue what you are talking about.

I am supposed to shed tears for all of these people who keep voting against their economic self-interests election after election, decade after decade.

I gave up on them years ago. You should also because you are wasting your time trying to "reach" them. They won't even listen to you. They will laugh in your face.

I know a lot more about how the right operates than you do. That is because I have followed the movement since I was in my teens in the late 1960s and early 1970s. I know how these people operate. I have gone to school with the children of these people. Racism, sexism, and authoritarian backgrounds like religion and the military form their worldview. They cannot be changed sans an economic catastrophe like the Great Depression. I highly doubt they would change even then.

It isn't the Democratic Party who has "left" them--they have never had them since Nixon pandered to the hard hats by using racist code, and it was solidified by Ronald Reagan.

You are thirty-five years too late to the party.

The OP is downright laughable for its ignorance of the right-wing mindset.
