Yeah, to get a bunch of the working class to vote against their interests you need to give them somebody to look down on.

They don't just want to look down on someone, they're so propagandized to by the ultra wealthy they do it for free.

Ultimately getting people to vote against their best interest is quite common, maybe even more common that voting in their best interest because of all the compromise with capitalists stuff. Wanting to address affordability but not addressing capitalism is like bargaining with a virus.
