      well-off middle class that hangs around

      you made this accusation of the people voting against trump who are on lemmy, I just turned the same accusation back on you, and now you think it is crazy. Funny how that works. I even said I was turning your words back on you in the comment. Hillarious.

        True, I might be projecting what I’ve seen in my own country as a member of a small left-wing party whilst observing the younger generation in the party who are almost all middle class children of the middle class and who, unlike me, did not experience how it is to grow up in the poor working class (and hearing stories of crushing poverty from my parents who both came from very poor countryside families).

        Whilst, thanks to my country being far more fair and equal than the US, I had the opportunity to get a degree from a good University and theoretically am now middle class, all I need to do to remind me of how the working class thinks is talk to the vast cohort of uncles and aunts I have (the younger generation are mainly like me and got degrees) and all I need to do to understand how it is to grow up without my own room in a house in bad state were people counted every cent is to remember my earlier childhood.

        But yeah, maybe the truly poor (rather than the recently squeezed types who grew up in middle class families in a proper house and not having to sleep in the living room) in the US are amazingly different from those in my home country and hence my experience and observations are not applicable.

      Are they assumptions when you’re putting your ignorant opinions out here as facts?

      Grow up you Palestinian genocider.
