working class loves the rich, loathes professionals

[JuliefromOhio]

here's a couple of teasers from this SHORT article. I encourage everyone to read it through as it tries to explain the appeal of Trump.

One little-known element of that gap is that the white working class (WWC) resents professionals but admires the rich.

Manly dignity is a big deal for working-class men, and they’re not feeling that they have it. Trump promises a world free of political correctness and a return to an earlier era, when men were men and women knew their place.

I'm a retired professional and know I'm loathed here, yet I'm also intriguing enough to you all since I get 50-75 ratings or replies every day.

is this post scarey or something?

No, your post isn't scary. Sometimes your stuff is below even the usual ridicule we give you.

Until this very moment I never thought to count ratings or replies- I've gotten 115 in the past 24 hours. I guess that makes me so much more __________ than you????

Lastly, you're not loathed. You're pitied and laughed at. Let's keep it real, shall we?
