It continually baffles me that americans can be this politically uneducated.

It is 100% by design. The entirety of the education system (what's left of it), media, and culture are grared toward engendering political illiteracy and false consciouness. Everyone is middle class. Baristas are cultural elites. Business owners with rural aesthetic signifiers are working class - even if they live in a large city. Also the working class are all round 40ish bald white men in hard hats. Businesses need profits so they can pay workers very-intelligent.

Its not an excuse, but this is the product of about a 100 years of propaganda and even longer than that of settler-colonial mindset
