The idea that the people who support Trump are the white working class who feel left behind may in fact be a myth. The 2018 Republicans primaries show that those who voted in those primaries were richer and better educated than the public at large. Of the 716 people charged in J6…fifty percent were business owners or white collar workers according to the University of Chicago Project and Security Threats. Where are the MAGA unionized workers? They seem to exist in very small unseeable numbers as evidenced by Trumps UAW event at an auto parts factory in response to Joe Biden’s UAW speech. When the NYT interviewed Trump before the IOWA caucus, 9 of the 11 profiled were white collar professionals or business owners. About a 1/3 of the MAGA base is struggling to get by, hoping to avoid the next layoff wondering who will lift them up… What we have here is a well to do MAGA class looking for more financial benefits doing the messaging for the Trump campaign and recruiting the less fortunate to do much of the fear mongering. Chances are these people we think are idiots in our threads may very well be highly educated grifters. The Trump party is more rich than poor and they are the ones controlling the message it appears… they are the ones inspiring those who are truly struggling to join their cause… Most of MAGA is actually better off than most of us and they see Trump as a huge financial benefit. One who will benefit them but not the poor… the poor is just their weapon… they are being used. A perfect example was a MAGA woman who tweeted last night that she benefitted well economically from the Trump presidency. As I looked around her house as the video showed much of it one could see that she was well off long before Trump and was receiving nice tax benefits most likely… these are the people encouraging the MAGA we see to foam at the mouth… It appears to me that the RW upper middle class and the wealthy have declared economic war on America and are using the less intelligent and those not economically well off to fight it for them. Well to do suburbanites causing all this fuss. It may be so… your thoughts. commondreams.org/opinion/don…

The only reason Biden’s economy is not getting the accolades it deserves is because according to Paul Krugman MAGA has been relentless trying to convince the country how bad it is. He claims public perception is being controlled by angry MAGA who still think Trump should be in power. Public sentiment is being controlled by those who would never vote for him no matter how good the economy is. That said Dems need to do better messaging and we must be louder because it appears that the media is too cowardly to promote the facts. Dems must tell the American people that the media will not tell you the truth because the truth does not sell. Every show a Dem goes on they must tell the American people how good the economy is. We must scream it from the mountain tops… we have the tools and the voices to make it happen… Dems in Washington need to find the right message and feed it to the media daily. Just remember we are everywhere on social media and there is more of us than them so it seems to me that it is our message that should dominate…make it happen. alternet.org/paul-krugman-po…
