Would u agree poor whites vote against their own interests? Why do u think they do that? Bc of the optics pushed on them by white supremacist politicians who have no interest in actually helping them. They fall for it.I'm always going to push back on you on this "both parties" thing when one party is simultaneously promoting unqualified white men into positions of extreme power based solely on the fact that they are white supremacists while also declaring that any black person in a position of power doesn't "deserve" to be there.
If you can't understand that then I really don't know what to tell you.
If u look at the Dems they do the same thing. At the top are white supremacists, they give this illusion that they let 'others' in yet their objectives don't actually align and stated goals for the average 'others' are never met. The concept of DEI is necessary, so was affirmative action, but who did it mostly help? It's all optics.
Blue is the yin to red's yang. They work hand in hand while the poors fight amongst each other. It's the same concept that allows racism to thrive.
