    Have you ever been to a Trump rally? I've been to over a dozen. And I've been to dozens more rallies for modern Democratic candidates. Forget what any chart about income says - if you can't spot the class difference in those groups, the term is meaningless.https://twitter.com/Saxis/status/1324800652111867909 …

    in addition, to define Trump supporters as "working class" is complete fucking bullshit when Trump's voters disproportionately came from upper income: pic.twitter.com/xss4lnopdn

        That's not an economic class difference, though.

        What if the low/middle income rallygoers are just the face of a political snow job driven by the wealthy? Too crazy?

        Thank you this is an important factor. The rich trumpers don't need to go to rallies. They got what they wanted either way.

        My theory on this and the education statistics is that they're mostly proxies for age differences.

        Boomers love talking up trades because boomer tradesmen can make bank. The ability for most young people to make bank, college educated or otherwise, is a lot worse.

        In short, they represent the workers the Democrats threw under the bus.

        "at the urging of the GOP" is missing at the end of that statement. The Dems have tried for decades to expand the government and "in the interest of progress" have let the GOP carve away every worker right under the sun (At will labour laws, removal of protections..) all GOP
