Wow, a surprising msnbc segment


You can actually see this trend even in Louisiana. Southwest Louisiana, believe it or not, had some whites there still voting for Kerry and gore, etc

Area has trended R big time. Lots of white labor in that area.

Northern Louisiana too


But it’s most obvious in Iowa and northeast Ohio

Howard county Iowa

Obama +22 in 2012

Trump +22 in 2016

Trump +27 in 2020

This isn't necessarily to you, but I fricking hate how widely accepted Marxian language like "class" has become.

While it doesn't quite smack as obviously manipulative as most of the other identitarian groups (particularly race), I agree with you that its only real purpose is for the powers that be to pit one "group" against another to keep us from turning on them.

I have had issue with that, as well. Like the old blue collar / white collar!

"Working class", Labor class?

Makes you wonder who these other classes are that don't have to work or labor, at some point in their lives.

And the funny thing is the GOP thinks of the working man what the Democrats think of the working man. This is 100% because of Trump.

More like 110%, like some of the voter precincts.

I actually like it when the dems bring up student loan forgiveness.

It's like free advertising to get blue collar folks to vote red.

love it

What if they do it? Voting is rigged forever but the end game is to destroy the country and economy.

Assuming Trump hangs it up and decides not to run again, the GOP absolutely needs to channel his inroads made, and mitigate the inevitable dropoff in support from his retirement. There is a lot of legitimate swing vote capture that can happen from those that hate what the left has morphed into, but didn't care for Trump's style. DeSantis seems like a home run candidate on this.

Don’t worry they’ll put their power behind some chuckle frick like Rubio or Sasse and DeSantis will have to claw past nine figures of ads and insubordinate staffers to win.

Problem is we’re outnumbered by the deadbeat class.

This term "class," first became used to describe the social division of labor in 19th century England. It's no coincidence that 19th century England was also where mass manufacturing of goods really kicked into high gear. And lastly, it would follow that Karl Marx was hanging with his ole buddy, Fredrich Ingles in England at the height of the industrial revolution when he and Karl wrote Das Kapital and the Communist Manifesto. Freddie's daddy owned a cotton mill in Manchester. Funny how the evil pieces of shite that push this filth have always been anything but the "working class."

One last thing, I don't think it is a coincidence that both Marx and Ingles were among Abraham Lincoln's most ardent admirers. Just sayin'
