Of course there’s more nuance, but I don’t think working class republicans practically lean any more into capitalism than your average democrat, I just think they’re more up front about it.

People struggle to understand that political organizing is only effective because it is intended to tangibly transform people’s experiences. If people don’t see change in their lives after political involvement, they will stop participating. Thank you for this analysis. It is so astute and so necessary. More urgent than people are willing to accept.
