Please tell me how "working class whites" is not identity politics.
It was also the handiwork of Democrats who decided that working class whites were no longer as important to them as identity politics. You left those folks out there for the taking in 1980, and again in 2016.https://twitter.com/bigskyrad/status/969735494035701761 …

Mostly, it's class politics. And identity politics are the politics of racial grievance. Democrats gave a master class - and Trump (or more accurately, Bannon) took good notes. Congrats!

Problem is....standing against racism isn’t hugely popular with closet “working class” racists. Sort of hard to thread that needle, but sure, let’s blame the Dems

The Democrats instituted the "Southern Strategy"?

Good point Tom. Very good point. If only the Democratic Party had maintained a real populism, they would not have left an opening for the BS false populism of Trump. He saw that opening.

You don't see "white working class" and "white evangelicals" as identity politics?

It seems that "I want to work to help everyone" is taken as "if I think you aren't working for me, you are working against me". That goes to the mindset of rural/GOP whites that seem to think this is a zero-sum game
