They may well be but they're not voting for liberals or socialists no matter how much you focus on "working class issues." Politics is far more tribal (and in their cases, nativist.) A lot of leftists have a hard time accepting that because Marx says it shouldn't be that way.

What do you mean.when you use the term "natavist"; the philosopy or belief that immigrants shouldn't matter?

Not "not matter" but "actively do harm" in the aggregate. And that's a key issue but by far not the only one in the broad acceptance of the fictional MAGA cinematic universe.

Never say never? The Founders feared class warfare & envisioned a Republic with an unengaged middle class chasing the American Dream. The death of the middle class is changing all of that. Are you talking to MAGA & by that I mean the farmer in the field or the shopkeeper in Custer SD?

The founders weren't really focused on that at all? They were focused on how to form a non-monarchic government that could accommodate Southern slavers, defend itself from invasion, and not descend into despotism.

Lef's just say it was all on the menu. The point is, you're talking about something you have no expenrience with or rel knowledge about.

Their concerns are documented in hundreds of federalist papers, histories, written debates, letters and exegeses. They're publicly available for you to read, and they don't say what you seem to think they do.
