How do these Republican policies help the working class?

- Massive tax cuts for the rich.

- Anti-abortion laws.

- Legal discrimination against POC, LGBT, women, non-Christians (many of whom are working class and retired working class).

- Appointing judges who always side with corporations over workers/customers.

- Tax laws that favor capitalists over workers.

- Tweaking regulations around things like food stamps to advantage rural/small town people over urban people. I daresay there are way more working class folks in urban and suburban areas than small towns.

- Tariffs that raise prices on goods purchased by the working class.

- Allowing companies to underfund and cancel pensions.

- Expressing contempt for people who live in big cities or in coastal states, as if they have no working class denizens.

- Making voting more difficult.

- Opposing govt support for public preschool, day care, elder care, and other social benefits for the non-rich, which includes the working class.
