During the past several election cycles, political pundits have devoted a lot of attention to the “diploma divide.” Much of this commentary has focused on the advantage Democrats enjoy among voters who tell pollsters they possess college degrees. It isn’t difficult to see why this topic has received so much scrutiny. The commentariat is dominated by college graduates who overwhelmingly support the Democratic Party. This also explains why so much of the self-congratulatory writing about the diploma divide tends to overlook its most consequential characteristic — that working class voters without college degrees far outnumber their “highly educated” counterparts.

There won’t be a working class left to vote by November.

Trump is the ONLY one willing to put America/Americans first. I have yet to see another American with the balls to stand up to the bullies and intimidation of the left. We should all be ashamed of ourselves to allow this 1 man to be the only 1 to fight for us. And what thanks does he get from us? Total cowardice.
And by using the word "fight" I do not mean an INSURRECTION. Lest the left try to throw ME to the commie courts that they run. I have to run that disclaimer.

Under the Biden, the working class is either living in their cars or driving up their credit card debt through the roof.

Something else to note, when the Federal government is working correctly, i.e. at a minimal level of interference, the working class benefits the most. Government interference is costly and it almost never benefits the American worker. Or, if there is some benefit, the various costs, including the intrusions into freedom, are far more than the benefit.
Trump cut government and regulations. THAT was a significant driver of the economic progress that happened when he was president. The massive growth of government under Biden had the opposite effect.

With respect to the title, that clearly explains the Democrat's reasoning for it's policies. The more they put out of work, the more that will vote for them. Flawed, but what else could it be?

The media throws around the words working class like an epithet. The stench of an American aristocracy simmers under the surface of our culture. You are less than if you haven’t gone to college and gotten a degree. The uncouth heathens who work with their hands and actually do manual labor are just not up to their sterling standards. What they don’t consider is the integrity of a person’s character. Trump understands this. He sees worth in hard work, the kind that clocks in early and goes home dirty and tired. He is not condescending because he values all work and the people who do it. The people get it and it is why they like him. He actually wants them to succeed because he knows a thriving middle class is the key to success. It ensures our freedom too. When you are not dependent upon government, the government cannot control you.
We are the movement that can save this country. Democrats know it and they hate us. It’s time for us to take back this rancid government from these fascists and get this country back on track. We know what it can be and it is imperative that we come out in massive numbers to send this vile administration packing.

I have a college degree but make a working class salary. I'm hit hard with increases in everything and it hurts, especially when I remember how much better my life was when Trump was president.

But bidet owns the miraculous mailed ballots vote, especially the late arriving and "prevloudly uncounted" ones.

I am far from the classic definition of "working class". Engineering and graduate engineering degrees, years of working as an engineer in US industry, actually designing and building things. I did some consulting for one small independent manufacturing company, designed all their major products for 25 years as a part time, fun job, didn't charge them too much.
Not working class, but always working.
Trump has had my vote from the first speech on building the Wall and closing the border. And after that he had a lot more speeches that I agreed with, too. And I watched him lower taxes and start withdrawing us from unnecessary overseas wars, one which cost us a beloved family member.
I WILL vote for Trump, 100% certain. And there are areas where we disagree, but IMO at least 80% of his policies, especially the most important border, illegals and economic things we are exact agreement,
although perhaps I wish he'd be a bit harder on the border and deportations.
