And this is why people wanted headphone jacks... and also why corporations didn't want them.

We had plenty of evidence from the first time Trump was elected that showed a massive amount of his base actually wasn't dirt poor voting against their own interests, but actually relatively well-to-do. I think the "dirt poor" thing about Trump voters is a convenient lie liberals tell themselves to make themselves feel better than these people.
Every shitty boss and middle manager I've ever had was conservative. They've always made way more money than me while doing fucking hardly anything I wasn't capable of doing.
Every time you saw one of those MAGA freaks complaining about the cost of food, and looked at photos of their actual grocery carts, it's like these people had never considered the cost of food before. All of it's high-end food that they're bitching about being expensive.
It's time to stop lying to ourselves about it. A significant portion of Trump voters are middle manager fuckheads who already have control over other people's lives and like it that way. They're firmly voting in their interests when their interests are "I get to abuse my employees and it makes me feel like a big man."
