You can understand a lot of "progressive" policy as devoted to screwing the white working class as hard as possible (and in fact a lot of the white working class does see it through that lens, which is why, eg, Trump sees such support from that demographic). For instance: - Hollowing out icky manufacturing & extraction-sector jobs, while ensuring maximal support for FIRE & "knowledge sector" jobs via IP protections & lax regulations. - Importing vast amounts of cheap labor to compete for service-sector jobs. - Ensuring that "live in an expensive neighborhood" is the only mechanism to ensure your children go to vaunted "good schools" (or even safe schools). - Devoting recurring two-minutes-hates to attacking their cultural symbols.
