  This is actually a great example of the current phenomena where left-wing elites draw out the caricatures they want to see from their out-group (lower class or rural whites) and then reinforce it through their echo chambers. No one at This American Life has any insight into what it means to be a blue collar worker worker.

    > Please find me a single example of this. Please don't hold me to a standard that was not requested. I don't believe there is any evidence that this was drawn out; as far as I can tell, many of the statements are simply recordings of town hall meetings.

      You are correct. I didn't mean to direct that at you, but rather the larger problem of blue collar workers being an out-group of discourse at the national level.
