95-99% of his base, even the ones on SNAP and Disability, believe this is true about blacks, Latinos, and any immigrants. The gubmint is sending all of those brown people “our money.”

“Our” is hard-working white people, good “Christian” folk. The good white “Christians” have earned their benefits.

“Them browns? No. They’re stealing. From us”

My Florida cracker grandfather (b. 1909 in Alachua County) was poor. He hated FDR. He hated the Civil Rights Act. By 1980, he hated how basketball had become so much about “them dunking.” He did love the sales tax on groceries because “finally the government was making the nigras pay instead of giving them his money.” Even though that regressive tax hit him hard.
 
A few years back I went on a weekend fun get together with several folks from my GF HS/college days .White folks -most had an undergraduate degree-all had done okay in life ,solid middle classish , some a little better.
I was shocked one breakfast morning when a group of them started to talk about "welfare"-with an emphasis on "cheats", lazy etc. They were talking about their fellow white west virgina folks who were poorer than they were and got some govt assistance
Most of their daddys were solid Union guys when they were young It puzzles me what the hell these folks were thinking and how they got there.........

Thinking...they're not. We have a systemic problem in our society. I have not a clue; but someone needs to have one, soon.

Yeah, just like in dry land farming. The farmers closer to the source grow and prosper, taking even more water and people at the end get less and less until what they have dries up and blows away.

It's just like a rising tide that lifts all boats. If you're the poor fucker without a boat, you just tread water until you drown.
