That makes little sense. Why would blue collar workers support Israel’s genocidal bombardment campaign? It’s not in their interest. The UAW is even calling for a ceasefire.
Also, the Biden administration can claim all day that they are in back room negotiations with Israel. However, those claims ring hollow when they’re simultaneously trying to pass bills in congress that unconditionally give Israel military aid. People see that and naturally lose faith in anything the administration says.
Sadly because of the higher incidence of nationalism, racism, and Islamophobia among such folk which means they don't care enough or are outright in favor of turning brown people into skeletons
Have you ever talked with some of them? My whole damn family is full of this exact type of person. Do you not remember how many of those people were willing to bomb multiple countries for 20+ years just to hunt down Osama Bin Laden?
The Biden admin is joining Israeli aid with Ukrainian aid. They’re trying to get some on the right to pass aid for Israel so we can fund Ukraine.
Many blue collar, support who tells them what they want to hear. God (Jesus) is great, white people are best, and libs bad... Even though it's against their interests, that's conservative/Trump.
