No I get that. Notice I didnt say just survive. I said living , so yes, able to have fun here and there.

I'm trying to make the point that among many class working folk is the reason they vote republican Instead of democrat, because democrats want to "take all their money" and " pay people $40/hr to flip burgers". Yes , they're idiots, but there is a little truth to that as I stated.

Note I'm not one of those people. Merely trying to break the Lemmy bubble and let you see into the real world for a moment.

The absolute arrogance of thinking that your experience is "the real world". Serious protagonist syndrome. And no, there's no truth to what you stated.
