First, let me say the title in the article is misleading. Working Class whites do vote overwhelmingly for Dem. Nursing aids, lab techs, waitresses, school teachers....very few of these people vote R, especially the females. However, their white male counterparts in traditional blue color roles do not. They vote almost exclusively R.

So, the question is. Who cares? B/C Whites are a disappearing breed. Replacing them are blacks, Latinos and a host of hard working immigrants from all over the world. Why pander to Archie Bunker?

The article below gets into all that.

The blue-collar barricade looms as the most stubborn obstacle to President Joe Biden enlarging his base of support.

Racists stuck in culture war mode are not welcome in a party rich with people of color and varying sexual orientation. Duh. I'm shocked.

I suggest we keep it that way.

White men I think in general are more racist than their female counterparts. Is there any other reason for it?
 
This is the most important takeaway:

"People think" the effort to gain the electoral high ground for 2022 and 2024 "is going to happen through one swift katana move," says McElwee, referring to the sleek Japanese sword favored by samurai, "when in fact it's a really brutal game of inches."

This appears to be an appropriated reference to a sacred aspect of Japanese culture. It's highly likely that McElwee is not Japanese, and is therefore not genetically qualified to use the term 'katana' in an analogy. However, CNN appears to permit its use here.
 
Journalism has suffered greatly ever since all the money began floating into propaganda.

How has that worked out for Detroit, Chicago, Brooklyn, Queens, Baltimore, and Los Angeles?

Better places to live now?

In the gentrified areas of those booming cities where uneducated whites cannot afford rent, it has worked out great. Why?
 
Because, white privilege. If they have any problems, we have to have empathy and patience because they're white. But let black people overdoes on opioids and lose their jobs to globalization, and no one cares.
 
You won't get us back until you show some signs you have common sense. This hasn't happened, especially with fake old scarecrow Joe. Continue with your CRT, cancel culture and other Marxist bullshit. Not buying it.

Who needs you? You're a shrinking population.

nope, not it.

White men in blue color jobs often feel resentful that they did not attain more. Trumpism is the justification of failed lives. Trumpism provides excuses for their self perceived failures.

Not that any of this is conscience in them.

My brother works in one of the largest body shops in South Florida. We grew up going to autocross races, working on my uncles se-r. That SR20DET is still one of my favorite engines.
