"this decline might be the result of a combination of #economic and #racialfactors, where both the 2008 #economicrecession and the first #Blackpresidency worked together to exacerbate feelings among the #whiteworkingclass of being left behind both economically and culturally.

Who really cares? #Democrats lost the white working class before #Trump won them | by Tufts Public Opinion Lab | Mar, 2025 | Medium

Former #Democrat favoring towns of #WhiteWorkingClass #Voters flipped en masse for promises of glorious #Trumponomics in 2024.

In #NewCastle PA where the last #GOP President they voted in was #Eisenhower, the low-income voter base majority pinned hopes on #DJT, praying he goes after immigrants, but doesn’t slash their #welfare benefits.

The chances their political shift will personally payoff are slim, and few seem to think they have much to lose by abandoning #Democrats, as the political party’s promises to help white people like themselves began to ring hollow.

Haven't listen to Surviving Society podcast for a while. So, now listening to a Aaron Winter reflecting on the arguments and themes in his and Aurelien Mondon's book, Reactionary Democracy: How racism and the populist far-right became mainstream.

Very clarifying how racisms function in how a democracy moves from liberal to authoritarian or illiberal; how these two forms can exist together as we see now; how racism works to get people to vote against their own interests, and much more.

It appears to me that is is likely the US will become a #Christofascist nation. The only hope that I can cling to with any sense of real possibility is that the experience will finally awaken the #WhiteWorkingClass that seems currently disconnected from reality.

Years-long push for votes
Returning to the Democratic fold
Job creation matters

#MisunderstoodMusic

When this single was released, it was misunderstood as a white victimhood National Front song.

Of course, this is The Clash, so of course not. The song was about the #whiteworkingclass standing up and fighting for self-respect just like the blacks and in solidarity with blacks
