Max, yes, I grew up there on the wrong side of the tracks and I still know working class ppl who support Trump. Of course class-based anti-elitism is everywhere but I think the presence of ivy league schools exaggerates it in Mass. What fascinates me is how people dupe themselves into believing Trump is not a member of the elite. Here's a man born with a silver spoon, owner of Manhattan penthouses, estates, casinos and ultra-sheik golf courses, etc. Yes, he was shunned by many of the Manhattan elite but he hangs with his own elite group. His cabinet was almost all multi-millionaires and billionaires, the most elite ever.
