Editor,
Regarding the return of “Roseanne” and the Roseanne class, I don’t consider myself an “elite,” and try not to be presumptuous enough to lecture, but what Trump voters failed to see through all the “jobs” talk is that Trump will likely do more harm than good, including to the working class.
His tariffs show an ignorance of basic economics and will likely cause prices to rise for all consumers. His desire to cripple the Affordable Care Act poses a threat to the health insurance of many of the working class. His paranoia about immigration obscures the fact that the vast majority of people who cross our border are not criminals, but are simply desperate to find a better life by any means necessary. They are willing to work hard, very often at jobs that American citizens don’t even want.
Does Roseanne want to wash dishes for 12 hours? And how many jobs is it worth if Trump’s impulsiveness sinks us into an international crisis? Since he fires anyone who may even possibly disagree with him, there are no limits to what may come out of the White House now. If you want to talk about knee-jerk impulses of the “elite” to mock the working class, what about knee-jerk impulses of the working class to vote for a man who is not only unsuited to be president of this great nation, but actually presents a threat to it and its values?
