Ironically, my understanding is they're also the most likely to vote against minimum wages, social security, universal health care, Pell Grants and so on, and to have bought into specious arguments about meritocracies.
Hat tip to this book[0] "issues of race point to underlying problems in society that ultimately affect everyone, not just minorities".

Not ironic when you consider people don't always just vote for what will improve their present financial position. Wouldn't you agree that some vote based on their principles?
Maybe they aren't looking for an easy way out like others.

Federal spending per person is $14,652. If you’ve ever earned less than ~$70k you’ve accepted a dime forcibly extracted from a stranger.
That's disingenuous. Federal spending isn't spent on persons, it's spent on infrastructure. If the city decides to renew or clean the sewer pipes running under my street, how many dimes have I accepted, personally?
I pity white working class American males: no classic class privilege and no modern victim privilege.
