One of the enduring lies of the last four years is that Trump speaks for the downtrodden and disfranchised. This has never been true.
Sure, there are a lot of racist poor people who vote for him, but as the arrests are pouring in from the McRib Rebellion, you are seeing Trump's true base. Middle and Upper middle class white people with means
That's why the Trump boat flotillas were popular- his base is predominantly crazy white people of means. The poors don't have 200k boats. Truly poor people can not afford to fly or drive across country, dress up in expensive tactical gear, and riot.
These people have never been disfranchised, they just don't accept it when their candidate loses and they don't accept minority voters as their equals. What has happened is the mainstreaming of the Birchers.
Add in all the unstable nutjobs who follow conspiracy theories, opportunists and grifters, fascist groups like the Proud Boys and Three Percenters and militias, the Jesus freaks,
and your friends on facebook who want their tax cuts and don't give a fuck about anything else, and there you have the Trump base. But it isn't the poor and downtrodden who just want their voices heard.
As @WesFlinn calls them, the "Contractor Class"- "Not super-educated, but wealthy because they know how to hire people to do manual labor. I saw someone referring to “Ford F-150 Twitter,” and that tracks as well."
