. . . you are sending your mail to the wrong address.
It is not liberals, feminists, minorities, immigrants or Democrats who are to blame for your troubles.
It is the 1%. The executives. The ones who made the decisions to suppress labor unions, install automation, suppress wages, and offshore operations and jobs to countries where labor is cheaper.
It's their fault, nobody else's, that you can't earn a middle-class income by manual labor like your grandfather could. It's their fault half the guys you know are addicted to opioids out of sheer despair.
Go after them with your pitchforks and torches, and stop voting Republican like they want you to.
By the way:
In 2016 the pundits talked a lot about the "white working class" -- and it did make sense to treat them separately, even though of course there are Americans of all colors who live by manual labor. A Marxist analysis oversimplifies the picture. A social class is not defined solely by its economic function. A social class is a social entity, within which people freely socialize, and freely marry, and have a distinct class culture and world-view. The white working class and the black working class are different slices of the same layer of the cake -- they do the same kinds of work, but they live in different neighborhoods, go to different churches, drink in different bars -- and they rarely marry across the racial divide. That is not the taboo it once was, but marriages begin with acquaintances, and most American workers' acquaintances are of their own race. The middle and upper classes are more ethnically diverse.
All this is relevant to present discussions, because white workers VOTE differently from nonwhite workers. Because they have different class cultures and world-views.
