I always wondered about why the truth that Kamala Harris worked at McDonald’s seemed almost less authentic than the sort of cosplay of Trump working there.
And it makes me wonder. I myself worked a blue collar job for a few years, I was in catering, and I worked - never in fast food but at a few chains.
But it was never something I had to do or something I was looking down the long barrel of. It certainly I think taught me something about what that life was like. But I can see why some people may interpret that as actually worse.
Really I the people who supported him get what the want. And I guess if they just want culture war stuff ok, and if they really want something more tangible, I hope they get that. I don’t know everything, maybe Trump really will be the champion of the working class.
