Your derision for day laborers is ironic given Erik was a victim of classism.

Kinda but I think he would've been shunned and locked away had he been born in a wealthy family as well. Getting born with a skull for a head tends to result in that.

Sort of OP—my derision for right-wing day laborers comes from being raised in a left wing working-class union family. As a kid I handed out soup and day old bagels with Food Not Bombs and tagged along to protests and spent a lot of time in the back of the storefront of the local Green Party offices reading pamphlets, waiting for my parents.

I get really frustrated by the assumption that all working class white people are chump supporters. Anyone who believes that empathy-deficient monster who shits in a golden toilet and wipes his ass with the Bill of Rights gives a single solitary fuck about poor, working, or even middle-class people is a sucker who fell for a con man.

When I was young, my parents and their buddies did most of their home repairs themselves, and their efforts to teach me ended in them having to repair my mistakes or hire someone if they were really bad, and a couple near-death experiences, so I gave up trying to learn.

I know there’s no such thing as unskilled labor—my dad variously worked as a forest firefighter, roadworker for Caltrans, farmer, and union decorator working 16 hour days throughout my childhood. It ruined his health and he got addicted to painkillers, then street drugs, then he developed schizophrenia and committed suicide.

My mom could wire lamps and lay tile and stuff but after my parents sold their farm, she mostly worked doing shelf-stocking and stuff. She wanted to be an architect but her parents told her girls didn’t go to college and that she’d make a great hairdresser. She drank herself to death after my dad died and she was diagnosed with three separate kinds of cancer in 5 years, the last untreatable. One of them is mostly caused by Roundup exposure, something that would’ve been good to know on their farm.

My disdain isn’t for all day laborers. It’s for the subset that support the Grifter-in-Chief. He’s the worst champion they could possibly have picked, he’s actively screwing workers’ rights/them over, and they don’t care so long as non-white people get screwed harder.

Some of the fix-it guys I or my mom hired were good people who didn’t hold court about immigrants ruining America or grab my legs as I was walking by. A lot weren’t. And the classism argument really depends on which adaptation we’re discussing.

As a working class white person who absolutely despises Trump (as do my mom and sister), I just want to say, "A-fucking-men!" to this, and your rant on this issue in general.

I also want to say that I'm so sorry about what happened with your parents. Condolences to you and your family.

AYRT—thanks for the solidarity and the condolences. It’s good to be reminded there’s other working class white people out there who think resident chump is a festering pustule on America’s ass.
