is, in general, a problem that I see in the media often. They talk about the working class preferring Trump but what they mean is the white working class. Black people don’t count in their scenario.

Many Latinos are working class and don’t prefer Trump over Dem.

No wonder he gets little black support. And no Dem wins without that.

And if he isn't aware of the subtle messaging, he doesn't need to be a politician at all.

Other times, they'll say urban in place of black even though 45% of blacks live in rural areas. It's one of the many ways talking about Americans gets whitewashed.
Working class = white.
Rural Americans = white.
Evangelicals = white.
Poor = black.
Urban = black.

You have a bad and boring habit of always referring to your buzzwords right off the bat
Words like "establishment", "Oligarchs", Billionaires and the usual clatter.
What this shows me is that you are not putting much thought into your reactions and simply going to rote memorization that you think conveys a message.
We have been on this road for too long to keep hearing the things over and over. The broken record just gets annoying.
