450 out of 452 Suicide Attacks in 2015 Were Committed by Muslims.
One of the remaining two attacks was carried out by the Kurdish underground. The other was perpetrated by a woman supporter of a leftist group in Turkey.
For the white working class, having had their morals roundly mocked, their religion deemed primitive, and their economic prospects decimated, now find their very gender and race, indeed the very way they talk about reality, described as a kind of problem for the nation to overcome. This is just one aspect of what Trump has masterfully signaled as “political correctness” run amok, or what might be better described as the newly rigid progressive passion for racial and sexual equality of outcome, rather than the liberal aspiration to mere equality of opportunity.
Much of the newly energized left has come to see the white working class not as allies but primarily as bigots, misogynists, racists, and homophobes, thereby condemning those often at the near-bottom rung of the economy to the bottom rung of the culture as well. A struggling white man in the heartland is now told to “check his privilege” by students at Ivy League colleges.
Trump has reconfigured the presidential race so that it's not so much about Republican versus Democrat as it is about Whole Foods. Go to Whole Foods sometime. Study the shoppers there closely. Can you imagine a single one of them voting for Trump? Of course not! So the election can be looked at along demographic lines between Kroger shoppers and people willing to cross the threshold of a Whole Foods.
I will even go so far as to say that the Bernie supporters who don't ever go to Whole Foods will vote for Trump and the ones that do will hold their nose and vote for Hillary. Meanwhile the Romney Republicans, because they go to Whole Food, will vote for Hillary. Elections have been simplified, thanks to Trump.

So Field, you admit that the Left is primarily animated by a classist and racist disdain for poor whites. You and your ilk believe that any concerns of working class whites can be dismissed because they are all "bigots, misogynists, racists, and homophobes".
And reviling an entire class of people is different than, say, blaming poor blacks for the sociopathy exhibited by a minority segment of the black population how?
What do we do with all these problem people?

It would seem that your political opinions are driven by:
1. An inate hatred of white people 2. A desire to associate yourself with the opinions of the elite
One can see this clearly in the words of bitter parvenus like Yisheng, but perhaps your views are more nuanced. I kind of doubt it though.
Answering the first part of your question: Yes. Most (not all) of them, and they have been programmed to think that way: I am poor and uneducated, but at least I am white, so I am better than that black guy.
Meanwhile, the country with the largest oil reserves in the world is suffering extreme scarcity of basics, such as rice, soap and medicines. The electricity gets turned off four hours each day and complainers go to jail:
@Trumpening: "newly energized left" "Newly" being the main part of the phrase. Being a poor white person myself, and a life long liberal, I have been in the god damn trenches trying to do battle with the Republican assholes who have economically torn up the livelihoods of poor people (no matter their color or identity) since Ronald the fuck Reagan began the crusade in 1980. Also, Andrew Sullivan? Really? The man who brought his conservatism from the UK and set out looking for noble Torries over here and is just sure he is gonna find one some day? The man who keeps stumbling upon right wing atrocities and coming to the newly minted conclusions that liberals have known for fact for thirty years, without ever admitting that liberals were right all along? The man who looks at Liberalism as an inconvenient impediment to his invitation to be on teevee? That Andrew Sullivan?
"The whole 'Trump is literally Hitler' angle just isn't very effective, on par with "Obama is a Kenyan socialist."
Trump isn't "literally" Hitler; he isn't planning world conquest.
But he is a sort of mini-Hitler. People are calling him this because he is, in fact, running the fascist playbook: lying his arse off that the country is naturally great but is being kept from greatness by an assortment of foreign enemies (hostile nations outside the country and traitorous minorities inside the country).
Trump/Hitler: We don't need to change anything about ourselves; the "bad guys" just need to stop screwing us.
So the Hitler comparison is partly accurate.
Accusations that Obama is a Kenyan socialist, on the other hand, are 100% laughable bullshit. Obama is an American citizen since birth. And he's nowhere close to a socialist; he is a moderate center-left politician. The people making these claims are either liars or have no idea what socialism actually is.

No he isn't. He is saying that working folks are being betrayed by a globalist elite, the same thing you have been saying for years. But because Trump says it, and Trump threatens your team, you call him Hitler and throw your support to the war mongering candidate of Wall Street. The only thing she offers you is her zealous commitment to waging a war on whites and males. I guess for you, your identity politics trumps your economic principles.
