There is such a thing as working-class bigotry, but if you have references that violent attacks on trans people are perpetrated by construction workers rather than the Jan6 dentists/car dealer mob, let's see it. the bigger problem is the idea that "working class" means "poorly educated"

Unless people are lying on their exit polls, the data pretty clearly shows that people in the racial/economic demographic we call "white working class" are less educated and more racist in their politics than the opposite. January 6th is a single event. This data is over multiple elections.

Bingo. This classist fantasy where a (white?) construction worker is a transphobe is bizarre.
