did you ever step back and realize why construction workers are "dumb"?

the majority of manual laborers didn't wake up one day and decide to do backbreaking work with awful hours for what they're doing for the fun of it. they don't have the privilege or luxury to have a political science education, or lecture themselves on the labor theory of value, or whatever.

when a candidate like Trump or Bernie Sanders comes in and promises them the things they need to put food on the table for their families or even have a passing thought about their children's futures, they'll believe them even if it's to their detriment ultimately.

folk point fingers at the working class who's doing their best to survive when you should be pointing them at the elite that brainwashes them to believing such dumb s***.

I'm not going to get into the Hispanics voting for Trump s***, there's a ton of factors in that and it's 10:00am.

u niggas on some other bullshit

In certain states, here’s the nationwide data also from CNN tho

cnn.com/interactive/2020/11/politics/election-analysis-exit-polls-2016-2020

the fact that it's so close and college educated white women ROSE for Trump in 2020 proves all our points my g.

cacs with a B.A. in philosophy really looked at this man and said
yeah, I could take 4 more years of this

white people are dumb as hell, with or without a degree.

And my point still stands, them niggas are f***ing idiots if they honestly believe Donald Trump will be their magical saviour. How can you honestly believe that voting for Trump as a blue collared worker will save your children’s future? What happened to bringing back the Ford manufacturing plant to America?

No one is solely blaming the working class either, but OP made the thread with regards to construction workers.

In addition, you seem to live in this fantasy world where blue collared workers only voted for Trump, out of fear for losing their jobs, when in reality a lot of them are racist and bigoted and identified with a lot Trump’s rhetoric.

its not really about education its more about where u live.

People in cities vs rural

people in suburbs go both ways

PEAK out of touch liberalism itt

@Synopsis do ur thing fam

Look at their backgrounds and where their pride stands. Blue collared workers usually align themselves with a certain way of life

Wym?

Most of them provide for their family with hard or dangerous manual labor, it simply forms a mindset that this is the real “American” way of life. Sacrificing body and mental for it. Not to add there only friends are those within the job most likely. Some of them seriously had no other option so they there because of that

Loads of incorrect posts in this thread lmao

This imo

Sad most black ppl I know when B said that we’re like “Yea dats truuu, we ain’t black voting fo Trump”

Man I feel like we’re in a time capsule.

unfair to chalk it up to education. yes propaganda plays a role (and it affects everyone, not just construction workers) but the simple truth is that the dems arent offering a meaningful improvement in material conditions.

most of these people would rather preserve their perceived way of life then endorse new values that dont actually translate to any benefit for them.

Yall thinking too deep. The liberal party been mainly focusing on black people and women over the last couple years. Thats why you vote for them because you think they are the party representing your interests.

And it is the exact opposite for them and Trump. Of course they vote for the guy who pretends to care about their bests interests.

If you’ve been on a construction site, it isn’t because of education. That’s disrespectful. Sure college may not have been their first option but I know more liberals with and w/o college degrees and are dumb as bricks lol.

It’s a take Democrats take to paint ppl as low income workers where construction is a high paying career.

Most radio shows outside of rock music are right wing shows ie Mark Levin, Hanity etc. just as most ppl watch CNN etc, the sites are listening to Levin and he’s exposing the other side. The information can be eye opening for some thus an increase in republican/conservative views in construction. They value family, God, rights etc. some are racist a******s like Hanity but they represent an image most of their parents traditions for generations to come.

Naw most landsfspers and construction workers are dumb as rocks and simply exist to collect a check real talk. Worked with both.

lol

youre a mug

This is actually true

Yup. We’re gonna look back and say, huh, that was idiotic

This sort of generalisation is part and parcel why so many white working class people are wooed by hard right politics. Liberal discourse on white working class people is very antagonistic towards them, when the people who claim they care are about are consistently calling you trash, why wouldn't you want to side with the people who tell you are superior to everyone else?
Think left wing discourse also suffers from this, but not as much. Black liberals often talk down on working class black people with the same level of condescendence, made thread that lightly touched on this from the black perspective

because they like to build walls

If you only knew.
