We know what makes them feel bad. It's the brown people

That and the fact that everything about our society shits on working people and tells them that it's their own fault that they aren't rich like the college-educated elites who look down on them.

It doesn't actually make any sense, but I am telling you that this is a huge part of the resentment that Trump was able to tap.

Is racism the core, and not another layer of projections?

BTW, the meme comes with a brown person.

It is the core for many of them in the States, but there are plenty that are only casually racist. Those people tend to just vote with their church.
