Alraming CLASS prejudice against Trump 's white supporters

   As a critical supporter of " socialist " Bernie Sanders I commend Dr.M.A. Khan of Pawtucket for seeing the mess- from a different perspective- created by establishment politicians like the leading Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

   Bernie -really just a refreshing revival of New Deal liberalism- is at least a voice for the detoxification of the word SOCIALISM in this most politically backward country.

   I was shocked yesterday to catch a new tone in the anti-Trump political establishment: they demeaned the white working class supporters of Donald Trump as " idiots " suggestive of " white trash ".

   That is clear CLASS prejudice -every bit as annoying as Trump's over the top " negative " rivalry of Hillary Clinton's " identity politics ".

     In general, democratic socialists have a class perspective on populist political movements.

     I will vote for the enigmatic " socialist " Bernie Sanders in the Rhode Island Democratic Primary.


[   Who are these idiot Donald Trump       supporters? Trump loves the poorly educated — and they love him right back

Urban poor are parasites who need personal responsibility. Trump fans are victims of economic forces. Yeah, sure  ]
