Since the election, you have probably heard a lot about FAFO (“f--- around and find out”). It’s the idea that voting is a choice and voters must face the consequences of their choices. If you are, say, a poor person, you shouldn’t have voted for Donald Trump or any Republican, because in the end, th...
We had plenty of evidence from the first time Trump was elected that showed a massive amount of his base actually wasn’t dirt poor voting against their own interests, but actually relatively well-to-do. I think the “dirt poor” thing about Trump voters is a convenient lie liberals tell themselves to make themselves feel better than these people.
Every shitty boss and middle manager I’ve ever had was conservative. They’ve always made way more money than me while doing fucking hardly anything I wasn’t capable of doing.
Every time you saw one of those MAGA freaks complaining about the cost of food, and looked at photos of their actual grocery carts, it’s like these people had never considered the cost of food before. All of it’s high-end food that they’re bitching about being expensive.
It’s time to stop lying to ourselves about it. A significant portion of Trump voters are middle manager fuckheads who already have control over other people’s lives and like it that way. They’re firmly voting in their interests when their interests are “I get to abuse my employees and it makes me feel like a big man.”
It depends on the industry. I install electronic security systems, and I’m on construction sites quite a lot. 95% of the white guys there are MAGA fans, and often talk shit about the very same Latino workers that are working alongside them hanging drywall. They won’t do it openly. They’ll wait until they’re in a group of only white dudes or scribble slurs on the walls of the portable toilets.
It sickens me sometimes how they’ll punch down on someone while not being that much better off than them.

I agree completely but the workers outnumber those managers by 10 to 1 at a minimum. The rich Trumpers had no direct effect on the election. That’s why they use their money to buy all mainstream media.
The poor are stupid and have a bad memory. They completely forgot that they had to fight for toilet paper under Trump.
