are poor, unemployed blue-collar people living in shabby towns with shuttered factories or on remote farms. Many are well-off professionals who don't care what happens to anybody else as long as they don't have to pay taxes. We believe this myth because ever since TFG was elected the media have loved to go out to places like Bumfuck, Idaho and interview the folks at the local greasy spoon - but they never talk to the wealthy bankers and lawyers and trust fund babies who happily overlook all the terror and cruelty inflicted by their party as long as they get to keep their sweet, sweet money. How are we supposed to find common ground with them?
