People who bust their ass all day and don’t want hand outs do indeed look down on those who don’t and it doesn’t matter what economic group you be!omg too. Look at Musk’s views on work or anyone in the middle class who started out poorer than poor.
After the couched accusations of racism and being wrongly judgemental, because Vance has to be a bigot, the piece focuses on class groups but the Democrats will continue losing white voters because Democrats are explicitly racist against white people.
