Do most US citizens really want what's best for others?

6. Most of these people have nothing

There is no middle class worth speaking of and there hasn't been for much of my life (I'm 50) so let's discard the notion of comfortable middle class white men. At the Kansas City spray-down, for example, the supporters interviewed were from poor communities miles away from the KCMO metro area; areas where years ago, there may have been manufacturing jobs, but not anymore.

These are largely working class or poor people. Yes, it's much harder to be working class or poor and black or another racial/ethnic minority, but it's still hard for anyone. The jobs that could support a family with only a high school diploma or vo-tech are gone. The ones that are left pay like shit and are usually demeaning. And the easiest emotion is anger.

It's not that these people hate blacks or Muslims or anyone else in particular - they're scared but it's safer to be angry but there's no real target for that anger. Now they're being provided one, and told it's okay and things will be better and they can be rich just like that vulgar showman who's been on TV so much they feel like they know him.

It's not so much auto-racism as it is desperation looking for an outlet, and being given bread and circuses.
