      America suffers from the fact that the concept of the petite bourgeoisie isn't understood as a distinct class. Since 1848, it's been the locus of all reactionary movements.

          A group of car dealers and alcohol distributors, i.e. "businessmen" whose entire business relies on government granted local monopolies.

          And they prefer fascism to socialism. Bourgeoisie will side with the money 100 percent of the time.

          A tad bit class reductionist. You don't see people of color or women with similar backgrounds acting in the same way.

          In August 2016 I got stuck in LAX, and spent time talking to a Trump-supporting optometrist from Orange County. Yeah. The pundits had it wrong--its class character and its reactionary movement character. They would drag Trump along, without being mesmerized by charisma.

          this is different from saying "economic anxiety" isn't thing and it's only racism. From a summary: "Lower-income whites are conflicted because they favor liberal economics; Trump won them by promising no cuts in safety net (+racism)"
