Soros puts Trump's 'deplorables' under the microscope

Still smarting from Hillary Clinton's unexpected election loss in 2016, the Soros crew at the Open Foundation Society has got to work looking for reasons to hammer it down and ensure it never happens again. A new study of 450 working class whites from five cities has come out, with the aim of finding out how these recalcitrants and deplorables can team up with other ethnic groups to elect Democrats. Oh that's not how they put it, but it seems to be what it is. According to the Daily Caller, which spotted the study:

While the study’s primary stated goal is to provide a deeper understanding of the white working class, an unstated goal of the study is to help the American left and the Democratic Party recapture some meaningful chunk of the white working-class voting bloc.

“The working class has been abandoned or exiled by the Democrats,” the study flatly concludes.

“This project begins to identify some pathways and reframe the conversation,” Harwood said, according to a University of Illinois News Bureau press release.

Yet there's a curious disconnect in that the researchers claim it's all to help "working class whites" prepare to become a minority in their own country, as stated by the study:

What are the possibilities of building cross-racial coalitions between white working- class Americans and communities of color, as the country transitions from majority white to minority white?

Which makes one wonder why they are bothering, given that they already think whites are withering away.

Some parts of it seem to signal an interest in finding out what is really going on. The definition of white working class values seems to be spot on, even though 'hard work' and 'play by the rules' are phrases President Obama often used in his speeches,

And as a young Jew disguised, as a Christian, was complicit in loading his Jewish citizens onto to boxcars headed for the extermination camps. If I were him I would get on my knees every night and pray there is no hell.

Yes, this is what makes up “deplorables”..

“More than deviation from the classic definition, or
economic insecurity, it was the crystallization of a
common set of values that bound our participants
together as “white working class.”

These values included being hardworking (going to work every
day, not calling in sick, earning every dollar),
family focused (looking after one’s children,
spending time with family), honest (following the
rules), direct (speaking the truth), supporting each
other (helping family and friends when in need),
and not depending on welfare (doing everything it
took to take care of self and family without getting handouts).

"my husband was with two “men” at a college football game yesterday who hate Trump... "

That's to be expected- Football players AND college "students" hate America, religion, the US flag, whitey, and the American Way. So yes, they would hate Trump. You better watch your husband.

To the extent they reject their own ‘narrative’ is pretty much the only chance they have to win.


Pretty well sums it up.

Speaking of George Soros, as a side note to this thread, has anybody heard anything from the White House about the status of the Soros / terrorist petition?
