You gotta source back to John Oliver! :)

Just trash. Many of them aren't white, just fucking brain dead / religiously indoctrinated / mentally ill.

Hey, don't insult trash like that. US Republicans are far, far, far, far worse than that.

A lot, if not most, poor white people are good people. Poverty doesn't make people evil. That is class based propaganda and anyone who believes it has been fooled. The same bullshit logic is used by the authoritarians to dehumanise non-whites, non-Christians etc.

The Trumpist alliance of fascists manipulates people with populist appeals and will use them as foot soldiers. A lot of white people feel alienated by the pace of change around them and that makes then susceptible. Just like the alt-health crowd whose brains were broken by the pandemic. Or the young men who were brought up in digital cages and never learned social skills. The leadership doesn't give a fuck about those people. They are a means to an end.

Also everyone needs to stop blaming boomers. Most are poor and worked hard all their life for fuck all and many are living out their days in miserable sub-standard aged care. They are being blamed for actions by the people who exploited them for a lifetime.
