In the immediate aftermath of the election , "working class" was synonymous with "white", it remains so in discourse.. "Reaching out to the working class" when Clinton won people making less than 50k a year...so which working class people ? Just more of the same obsession with blaming "identity politics" for the moral and intellectual failings of voters.
