I hate this comment. Rich people are all incentivised to maintain their wealth. Someone being working class doesn’t make them dumber or more susceptible to money.
Dan made the assertion that celebrities would be more opposed to Trump due to their working class roots. That’s simply a false statement, assholes exist across the entire spectrum. Check out this Pew Research chart:
more than a third of all the poorest Americans who were polled support Trump, middle income levels supported Trump more than those who didnt, and the upper income brackets actually leaned against Trump more than middle, upper middle, and lower-middle. Furthermore:
Trump’s hold over rural areas, often areas with the most poor and least educated, has only grown over time.
Being “working class” doesn’t magically make you oppose Trump or vice versa.
I’m not calling you out for starting that rich people who were working class are trump supporters. I’m calling you out for you insisting that being working class makes you less educated and especially susceptible to wealth.
You’ve just repeated a claim I already dismissed, putting words in my mouth that are not even close to what I said. I will not correct you again, have a nice day, illiterate.
“working class icons are often very susceptible to money and less educated opinions.”
Being working class doesn’t make you more susceptible to money, that’s just not true. I’d say that ,regardless of your intention, by saying this you are implying working class people are greedy by nature.
Having an education also has nothing to do with your class, anybody is capable of undertaking an education. You mentioned rich people can afford to pay for expensive degrees but that implies that an education just is an expensive degree, it’s not. A mechanic is well educated, farmers are well educated, labourers are well educated. You just aren’t recognising their competencies as an education. You’re de-legitimising the intelligence and knowledge base of working class people by saying this.
You’ve made surface level denials of this but you haven’t really engaged with what you said or the argument I’m making, you’re just assuming you know better. I’m directly quoting you, not exactly what I’d call “putting words in (your) mouth.”
And to top it all off you closed off by calling me illiterate as an insult, which in of itself has its own elitest undertones.

I didn’t say they were more susceptible, I said they weren’t immune to it.
Also, education costing more money than a person makes in a year doing full time employment does act as a bit of a barrier for entry.
E.G. Hulk Hogan, Kanye West, Chuck Norris, Sexyy Red, etc.
Why specify working class as opposed to just wealthy people then? And then why double down on the sentiment in this comment?
