@MentORPHEUS We are seeing a lot of the same things but drawing different conclusions. The aversion to economic class issues isn't limited to the right. The hyper-focus on things like racial and transgender issues is designed to divert attention from economic class issues. Better to have people arguing over George Floyd than wondering why a historically greater share of national income goes to capital than to labor.

I think you are missing that the left was absorbed into the uniparty long ago. WEF is a good example. In any event, no one prominent on the left would dare do anything that would result in more income going to labor than to capital. The situation thus is perhaps more bleak than you think.

Trump is an outsider and reviled by the uniparty, and is comfortable around working people, so it isn't surprising that they like him. People like Musk because he allowed free speech on Twitter and evicted all of the FBI/intelligence community people on the payroll. They see what is happening in Britain, with people being jailed for daring to question the wisdom of mass muslim immigration, and appreciate someone like Musk.

And I don't doubt that environmental groups that take money from the likes of Soros don't consider him one of them, but at the same time, he and his ilk control the ultimate policy decisions of those groups. Cleaning up chemically infested rivers in New Jersey, and preventing it from happening again, is a worthwhile endeavor for environmental groups. Shilling for policies that send money to politically-connected people and China to fight "climate change" is not.

@SeasonedRP I appreciate the effort of the response, but still find the underlying assumptions fatally flawed.

Part of the problem, lies in the American Right's cultural aversion to consider culture and economics through a CLASS lens, as if doing so is tantamount to willfully stepping onto a nearly vertical slippery slope into full-on acceptance and practice of Marxism/socialism/communism-->bad and anti-American.

Even those individuals you name, who may give public lip service and financial donations to Left leaning social causes, often have economic ulterior motives mixed in. This notwithstanding, their position at the apex of power and control over the large numbers of workers in their businesses and organizations, places them squarely in the Bourgeois class, completely apart from the working stiff proles who actually perform the work.

Working and middle class people support the right.

Because they are most blind to the above structural reality. I find it breathtakingly absurd hearing working class folks, particularly blue collar, enthusiastically supporting the likes of Elon Musk and Donald Trump, with a sense of personal kinship which in reality holds 0% reciprocity from his end.

FWIW, even people working at the ground and lower levels within organizations like Environmental groups that take large grants from the likes of Soros, will take the money, but harbor no illusions that these apex benefactors exist in any way as "One of us." Wealthy people, whether donors or board/upper management class, don't bother to pitch through left coded channels to left leaning audiences, any "Greetings, fellow working class stiffs!" bullshit, as they're much quicker to see right through such a farce.
