Good angle. Sneering at the working class will work wonders in the election.

The problem is that our definition of "working class" is over-centered on societally-obsolete white males working obsolete jobs in obsolete regions. There's a whole other vibrant, vital, REAL working class that is urban, metropolitan, intersectional and diverse working in...

...relevant 21st Century industries like service, data, transportation, food-service, hospitality, medical/elder-care, etc that analyses like this ignores because they dont comport to the outdated/romanticized hardhat/lunchpail "hardscrabble white dad breadwinner" iconography.

The 22 year-old kid slaving over the latte machine right now is more representative of the REAL societally-revelant, worthwhile "working class" than the racist fucking ghouls whinging about their coal jerbs the punditocracy keeps wringing its hands over on cable.

Put this in a tv commercial in Michigan, Wisconsion and PA. They love being called worthless.

Those jobs aren't "obsolete" --- the metropolitan elites that you think are so wise and wonderful sold middle America down the tube for cheaply made (by quasi slave labor) Chinese junk. You're somehow proud of this.

Bob, you should get a job that requires you to break a sweat (walking up the stairs doesn't count). This will hep you appreciate how people that don't get excited by toy unboxing videos live.

Bryan, As someone who has worked from before the sun comes up and until after it’s gone away again, outside in the middle of the dog days of summer, and without any shade to be had, I’d like to just say: Fuck you and your bullshit.

I mean wow, people without college degrees are stupid?

You seem nice: https://twitter.com/PopulistPopular/status/1147261579756482560?s=19 …

Really bro? You a blue check and got nothing better to do than to dig through a twitter rando for mean tweets? And all you found was a reply about how silly it is to mob a gay couple eating brunch? You're the one who thinks no ba=stupid. Who hurt you? Why are you like this?

Mostly dealing with insufferable snits like yourself. I'd show you the rest of the context for calling out Zaid's little tantrum, but he blocked me like a chickenshit and also I've got better things to do in beach weather on a Sunday.

you know most working class people arent white, and social conservatism isn't exclusive to white people.

damn dude we get it you hate poor people

Bob's never said that, it's just that people keep insisting that the shitty backwards racists are the "salt of the earth real americans" which of course ignores all the minorities that are also poor and are targets of shitty backwards racists.

I’m from a red state, no college. My coworkers are the people Bob talks about. They’re every bit the awful scumfucks Bob tends to describe. No empathy, racist and gleeful in the suffering of others. That shits a choice, and soft liberal coddling won’t save them.

Likewise. I'm a "some college but no degree" cis white dude from Kentucky making a thoroughly unimpressive amount of money. I know exactly who Bob is and is not talking about... Hint: it isn't me

It literally is you

It literally isn't, because there's a difference with being both white and working class and being part of the capital letters White Working Class media trope. Nobody is socially regressive because they're working class, you have to be a bigot by choice.

It's fucking disingenuous to pretend that none of us know the difference between being a white, non college educated, working class person and being part of the holy White Working Class, which btw almost always excludes young white leftists and socialists.

He's gone on record as wanting to disenfranchise all the people in states like yours regardless of education, income, occupation, or race, so yeah, he means you
