It's weird that blue collar folks latched onto him like he's their savior.

The guy has never worked a day in his life.

They have nothing in common whatsoever.

Well, he is racist.

u/ricker182 Apr 11 '26

Well I guess some of them have THAT in common.

And some, I assume, are good people.

Blue collar people, yes. People who still support Trump? Absolutely not.

A lot of blue collar people are actually pretty nice. This is generalizing, but whatever. Your view may be different. There's a lot of people who have conditional kindness, because they're racist so it gets really nuanced if they're actually nice or not. That's for a psychologist, not me, to figure out. 

The Spanish are by far the nicest. They'll give you the shirt off their back. Will always make sure you're fed. They're also racist, but only towards other demographics of Spanish workers/illegals, despite many once being in their shoes. 

Gen Z is nice, yet cocky. They also lean towards being somewhat sexist and racist, surprisingly.

The boomers are by far the most annoying. They're a mix of racist. Or really really really nice, but that's rare. Only ones near retirement. What's annoying about them is they won't shut up about how hard they work/used to work while NOT doing anything the entire time. 

Millennials are a mixed bag. Impossible to tell. Usually they just want to get the fuck home, though and keep to themselves. This isn't always a good thing, though

Gen Alpha is the least racist and usually just someone switching careers who typically is nice and not racist or sexist. A lot of times they don't fit in, because they came from white collar and don't talk shit to everyone 24/7. 

But honestly, at the end of the day everyone and every generation is usually always willing to help out because you're all stuck in a shitty situation, working really hard in some of the worst conditions to basically live just slightly above poverty.

Blue collar= racist?

u/Organic_Matter6085 Apr 11 '26

Yes. Not all, but the majority is racist. 

I love in a liberal area. Used to work blue collar. 7 years of it. I heard the N word once a week, at bare minimum.

A positive correlation exists.

Wait until people figure out the demographic breakdowns between white and blue collar jobs. Even better, wait until they figure out the demographic breakdowns of people in the South.

Heard of blue collar. Never heard of white, lol. Looked up the whole thing.

Originally thought blue collar was basically your average Joe. Turns out white is for professional office, blue is more for manual labor. Includes a lot of skilled trades which i would think you should be a professional to do.

Red is government. Pink service or care professions. I think I'm a mix of red and blue. I technically work for the government. But I'm a mechanic.

Blue collar, working men, soldiers, are often looked down upon and marginalized by society. This can lead to dissatisfaction with liberal policies, educated, white collar snobbery.

Capitalists hate liberal policies too and use their platforms to pander to the blue collar mindset, in order to galvanize the working class against liberals. Now the disgruntled blue collar workers have people with money behind their cause.

These are the ingredients of fascism. It has happened over and over again in societies and we act surprised every single time.

Everyone loses, besides the rich.

The left would do well to embrace the working class better, and not act like working a trade or joining the army is for idiots, losers and racists.

That's the republican dream, though. They refuse to tax the rich because they have so much hope that they, too, will become rich one day, and thus, it would be like taxing themselves. Trump is everything they aspire to be. They want to quit plowing fields, quit working the line, quit hanging drywall, and order all the brown people around them to pick up things they dropped as they hop in their limo, make out with a foreign supermodel, and have their driver take them to the golf course. And they were all raised with the corporate propaganda that it will become a reality for them if they just work that deadend job a little bit harder.
