    Workings class Democrat supporters don't go to political rallies while elite Republicans don't go to their rallies. It's really that simple. Also just because someone wears cammo and work boots doesn't mean they're a struggling working man.

      It is telling how Matt is looking at aesthetics as class signifiers. GWB didn't suddenly become a simple country boy just by buying a ranch and talking folksy.

        It's really dumb considering I know he's been to Bernie rallies (I met him at one in Virginia), which are chocked full of working class people who look nothing like chuds.

          Maybe he has the same brainworm that people have in the UK where "working class" often just means rural white people as opposed to the metropolitan city dwellers.

        That's pretty extreme of an example lol. I certainly have met tons of folks who own small businesses or work in the defense contracting industry who make six figures and wear realtree camo jackets and baseball caps and drive big trucks.
