I feel like we need to be more specific in describing the GOP base. it's not a simple as "working-class" - there's a LOT of POC who are working class and they're not voting Republican. you can also have a college degree and still be working class, they're generally not Republican either.
the GOP isn't working-class, it's TRAILER TRASH. white, uneducated, gay-bashing, self-loathing, "the Bible is the only thing I understand and I don't even understand that" TRAILER TRASH.
@TheresaVermont yeah, that pretty much describes my dad. but the bulk of the GOP base is still the racist white trailer trash that only likes trump and the GOP because they all hate the same people.
