npub12q38hxtjnzhcw5gyr5sr2v5ha54asx0mnsza5cxr28uj5lxymp0qgkqw3l (npub12q3…qw3l) The question you're asking is one that Thomas Frank tussled with decades ago when he asked what had happened in Kansas to cause so many people to start voting against their own economic self-interest. My own thinking about this may be simplistic, but to me, it seems it picked up on steroids after Democrats enacted civil rights for people of color and white Democratic voters in the South then flocked by droves to the Republican party. Racism is the foundation.
