[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Coming from the midwest, I thought this was very true:

[b]Republicans have mastered wielding the struggles of poor white Americans[/b] as a cudgel against blacks, against Latinos, against women, against Jews and Muslims and LGBTQ folks. See them? They’re to blame for your struggle. You’re hurting because of them! I am tired of wealthy conservatives who have never set foot among us “white trash”—and sure as hell wouldn’t want their children marrying us—filming campaign commercials of themselves wading through star-spangled cornfields and ranting about the so-called “liberal bubble” and every buzzword that goes with it: Hollywood, communists, “college educated,” etc[/quote]
Democrats have used the struggles of poor minorities as a cudgel against whites etc. as if they alone are the solution to change their station in life. Yet when in power, little to nothing changes. [/quote]

Agree. Dems are just mad because their use of identity politics didn't triumph. [b]They thought it would pay off to tell poor white people to check their privilege[/b] and to vote for the Dem candidate or else they're racist.

Turns out it didn't. [/quote]
And this happened... where?[/quote]

Have you really not heard anyone suggest that white people are privileged and should acknowledge said privilege?

Do you live in the United States?[/quote]
You claimed that the Democrats, as a campaign strategy, specifically told poor white people to check their privilege. Where did this happen?[/quote]
