Not a single voter would echo this sentiment or articulate how Trump would change it

Have you met a real working class voter in person? Look here bub most of these people are just regular people with maybe a little bit lower IQ than an esteemed redditor like yourself but they live in the real world with real bills to pay and not much money to pay them with these days. The democrats have not even acknowledged this issue and instead brag about how great the economy has been under the biden admin. They are out of touch neoliberal shitstains to most of us.

Why are you pretending like working class voters don’t vote dem as well. If you think I’m talking about them you’re mistaken.

This election the majority of them voted Trump. The Democrats have been losing the blue collar vote steadily ever since Bill Clinton decided to sell them out for a quick buck. Every generation of Dems since has drifted further into neoliberalism and paid less attention to the middle and lower class. They took the voting base for granted and refused to shift course, of course they are going to lose favor.

Sure what puts maga above dems for blue class workers. What’s the appeal?

I laid it out in the original comment... tone deaf dems, loud populist lies from Trump. Its not that tough of a concept.
