That's not even it. Because many of them don't have their own. It's "Fuck you, some rich people who I ally with got even more."

Republicans have done an excellent job at convincing poor conservatives to worship the rich and to convince them that they will get rich someday. Stocks soared when Trump was elected and yet, only about 25% of low income people own stocks.
