As such, blue-collar America has understood from the beginning that free immigration was an economic issue, and that constant supplies of cheap labor benefitted only a tiny fraction of this country’s top-tier elite. This reality has never intruded on our homegrown salon cadres, spitting orders at third-world catering staff and discussing liberation theory – fully convinced in their blinkered hypocrisy that only reprobate racists oppose their vision of a new America. If they at all consider the native-born workers, it is at best as stooges, and at worst as raving throwbacks ready to strike up torches and rampage in lynch parties.

If toiling townies are “bitter”, it’s because the Democratic Party, offended that the unwashed can’t induldge its self-aggrandzing delusions, turned its back on them.
