I’m not white working class, my guess neither are you, and it’s an echo chamber. It’s pointless to discuss how somebody else feels without them being included.

I remember some Trump supporter interviewed on radio, and was like “Trump is like us, he cares about people”. Trump might be everything, a racist, a bullshitter, a narcissist, but would it be useful to borrow from what he’s NOT and learn HOW he talks? He’s not a politician, he doesn’t treat his audience as “them” and children who need to be educated and provided off hand solutions. He was feeding on his audience’s prejudices, preconceptions and fears, and told them what they wanted to hear but it’s what all shady sales people do.
