I understand that. But no one is saying that working class people are racist.
Instead, we are saying that when people looked at what motivated white men with no college education to vote for Trump, racism was a significant factor.
That does not mean that all working class people are racist, not does it mean that all working class people who voted for Trump are racist.
It just means that enough of them were racist that it made a difference.
I understand the hypothesis and why it makes sense.
But they tested it and found that economic anxiety was not as significant as racism and sexism.

Actually, representing the citizens is exactly what they do.
And these congresspeople represent the fears that drive some to vote for Trump: fear of ethnic diversity. Trump is hoping that these voters (and hopefully some swing voters) will see these darker skinned faces and think they represent the Democrats and will then vote Republican.
I doubt that he plans.
I think he just posts whatever he thinks, and then watches to see what happens to make the most of it.
There is a crack in everything,
That's how the light gets in...

I agree enough with Karl Marx to say that this is exactly why most people are voting for Trump, and it is quite rational, as the other side most certainly doesn't represent them and even actively hates them.

Not irrelevant at all, POD. These congresspeople represent those of the immigration wave that we've been discussing, and these congresspeople certainly don't truly represent the native population.

Well, what he plans and thinks is very important, since the ''Left'' has destroyed itself with identity politics.
