But what they did is prove conclusively that they are in fact the "rubes" that certain people were calling them. Not every blue collar worker is white, by the way, and a lot of non-whites have been getting shafted for generations. They just don't do what the craven, obedient white rubes do and run faithfully to the 1% masters when they blow their racist dog whistles. "There, there, good lower middle-class and working-class white people, we're not giving you anything for your obedience beyond a shallow and entirely symbolic membership in the white racial order," the 1% Koch funded Republican party will say. The poorest of the poor whites don't even vote so this election result is on the heads of the white lower middle-class, the white upper-middle class and the Republican 1%er masters whose interests they evidently serve.
