Those ignorant working-class Republicans are just too dumb to realize they should be voting for us!
That, in a nutshell, is a key Democrat kvetch when it comes to economics. Put in somewhat more academic terms, Democrats like to say that working-class Americans are "voting against their economic interests." The notion was made famous by leftist author Thomas Frank in his book, What's the Matter with Kansas? And the complaint has been echoed countless times since by a parade of progressives.

Scarborough today also parroted that same classic leftist trope. It came in his Washington Post column that his wife Mika Brzezinski read from at length this morning. Here it is [emphasis added, and note that the final sentence is Scarborough writing in his own words, not quoting the professor]:
"As Vanderbilt history professor Jefferson Cowie wrote in The New York Times in May, “The new class war would be waged not against the old corporate robber barons but the impudent snobs of the cultural elite.” That shift may explain why so many working-class Americans have been voting against their own economic interests for so long."

If Trump is re-elected you might actually see him stroke out on the air.
Or those same letters, reversed. :-)
What a loser . . .they must have something on him. To vote democrat is to vote the devil’s agenda. Baby killing, etc. What party in its right mind would take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance? Don’t they know the Lord God Almighty is in charge of their very next breath?
The Scarborough show on MSNBC should be considered a contribution to Biden and investigated by the FEC.
Yet another reason to vote for Trump.
Anybody to the Right of OAC is a Conservative.
Trump has been the best president for the working folks in my lifetime . . . by a long shot
If they want to have a job to work at, they better vote GOP.
‘Cuz the Left will destroy their ability to make living.
What, they should commit suicide instead?
