Former #Democrat favoring towns of #WhiteWorkingClass #Voters flipped en masse for promises of glorious #Trumponomics in 2024.
In #NewCastle PA where the last #GOP President they voted in was #Eisenhower, the low-income voter base majority pinned hopes on #DJT, praying he goes after immigrants, but doesn’t slash their #welfare benefits.
The chances their political shift will personally payoff are slim, and few seem to think they have much to lose by abandoning #Democrats, as the political party’s promises to help white people like themselves began to ring hollow.

Haven't listen to Surviving Society podcast for a while. So, now listening to a Aaron Winter reflecting on the arguments and themes in his and Aurelien Mondon's book, Reactionary Democracy: How racism and the populist far-right became mainstream.
Very clarifying how racisms function in how a democracy moves from liberal to authoritarian or illiberal; how these two forms can exist together as we see now; how racism works to get people to vote against their own interests, and much more.
