“They don't understand how a doctor, a rural farmer, a Hispanic small business owner, and a steel worker from Butler could all be voting the same. And they are bewildered by how a working-class person of any race – despite being the men and women who build the roads, make the transformers that light your streets, construct your houses, and weld your bridges so you are safe - could possibly be a conservative populist.
