I read an essay about 6 months ago on this. No clue where, by who, title, etc., or I’d give a cite. But the author, a respected sociologist, said the so-called white working class racism is a facile false answer. A lot of what’s going on is that rural and small town America is dying economically. These people were raised from birth to want to live only near their ancestors and never want to leave that county. They don’t want a handout. They want living in a nothin… The next dozen or so posts continue to discuss this idea and bear reading. As well I recommend reading the whole post by @bump that I snipped at the top of my post. Aside … FYI, it’s not hard to find other poster’s work if you have some idea of when it was written and some keywords words it might contain. A search for [@lslguy after:2024-07-01] and any of “fascism”, “grandfather”, or “rural” would have worked. “father” alone would not have, since I didn’t use that word and Discourse doesn’t match the letters “father” inside the word “grandfather”. Discourse search treats multiple words as a logical “and” condition, not “or”, so you’d need to conduct multiple individual searches for each word you think apt. Which is the work of a couple keystrokes to delete the unsuccessful word and type a new guess in its place each time. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/biden-considering-dropping-out-update-biden-drops-out/1003690)._
