I& #39;ve been screaming this since all the "economic anxiety" thinkpieces that camp out after Trump was elected. The vast majority of the white people they are talking about when they refer to "working class white voters" are not truly impoverished. https://twitter.com/SarahTaber_bww/status/1314578629670711298">https://twitter.com/SarahTabe...

Sure, if you& #39;re going to compare us all to Bezos or the CEO of the company we work for, we& #39;re all "poor," and that& #39;s a type of income inequality that deserves to be addressed, but a whole lot of white folks are so focused on that kind of "poor," they have no idea what

life actually looks like for the people, mostly women, BIPOC, queer people, people with severe drug problems, mental health issues or disabilities, etc are living in. This supposedly radicalized by poverty white dude lives in a house similar looking to the one my Trump voting

parents live in. They aren& #39;t wealthy, but thanks to my dad having worked a good formerly union job as a maintenance mechanic for 30 years, they have a reasonably comfortable retirement. That doesn& #39;t stop my dad from thinking he& #39;s somehow being cheated

out of whatever life he imagines he should have had by the blacks and Mexicans and Muslims etc, but while he isn& #39;t living the high life, he& #39;s certainly not struggling either. Most of his Trump-voting friends are the same. People who are truly impoverished can& #39;t afford

to stockpile weapons and ammo. They can& #39;t take time off work from their low paying jobs to go try to kidnap a governor. Their culture probably did play a role in radicalizing them, but it isn& #39;t a culture of poverty. It& #39;s a culture of white supremacy.
