With this vote against the authoritarian bigotry of Donald Trump, the world can breathe a collective sigh of relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the election results did also reveal something that should be a cause for concern. Trump received 11 million more votes than he did in 2016, increasing his support in many distressed communities \u2013 where unemployment and poverty are high, healthcare and childcare are inadequate, and people are hurting the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a president who lies all the time, perhaps Donald Trump\u2019s most outlandish lie is that he and his administration are friends of the working class in our country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The truth is that Trump put more billionaires into his administration than any president in history; he appointed vehemently anti-labor members to the National Relations Labor Board (NLRB) and he gave huge tax breaks to the very rich and large corporations while proposing massive cuts to education, housing and nutrition programs. Trump has tried to throw up to 32 million people off the healthcare they have and has produced budgets that called for tens of billions in cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and social security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet, a certain segment of the working class in our country still believe Donald Trump is on their side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why is that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2020\/nov\/24\/bernie-sanders-working-class-win-back-from-donald-trump\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2020\/nov\/24\/bernie-sanders-working-class-win-back-from-donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\">Lire la Suite:<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE GUARDIAN A segment of working-class people in our country still believes Donald Trump defends their interests.
