Aaaah all the paternalistic hot mess takes about the working classes voting Tory are still incoming from & #39;working class identifying& #39; people living in £350K houses I see https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😆" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund und fest verschlossenen Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund und fest verschlossenen Augen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😆" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund und fest verschlossenen Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund und fest verschlossenen Augen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😆" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund und fest verschlossenen Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund und fest verschlossenen Augen"> Just as bad are the & #39;they know not what they do& #39; bullshit from the bleeding hearts
THIS is why working class people reject the left. Who wants to be patronised? No one.

Unfortunately this is also why the working class are voting against their own best interests - they did under Corbyn too, let& #39;s not pretend he was the answer.

This is a culture war. Wake up
Fact is, & #39;divide and conquer& #39; works. When life is hard, it is tough to see systemic injustice or take responsibility for personal mistakes. Far easier to point the finger at others ... and the right THRIVES on this. That is the root here
When I was a teen single mum, I lost count of the number of poor people who told me I was a & #39;drain on society& #39; and & #39;taking their taxes& #39; ... even when they earned waaaay below threshold. 1 woman had such a vendetta I had to move out the flatblock
She reported me to the benefits office for working (I was on unpaid work experience), she reported me to the RSPCA for mistreating my cat THREE times, plus she called and left abusive voicemails. All cuz she thought I was taking what was "hers"
So if you are confused why some wprking class ppl might vote Tory when they get sweet FA in return, this is what it is. They are protecting the nothing they get cuz God Forbid someone gets & #39;more& #39; than them. In my experience poor ppl hate poor people
