I had a thought while discreetly observing someone’s Twitter timeline full of angry drunken resentful subtweets and airing of Festivus grievances, climate change minimizing, hatred of leftists and liberals, disdain for whiny millennials, contrarian “race realistic” hot takes on “integration destroying African-American communities,” and high dudgeon over people daring to compare ICE and CBP to the Gestapo, or Trump to Hitler, or to utter the words “concentration camps” to refer to the obscene facilities on our border.

It’s not necessarily a particularly profound thought, but it struck me nonetheless.

The attitude of “I’ve got mine, so fuck you” has perhaps a much more dangerous fellow traveller, and that is, “I got screwed over, so screw everybody else.” < —-THAT is poor white working class resentment in a nutshell.
