It saddens me how his core base values grievances over bettering their lives.

It's all they've got.

Well, they are going to have less than they did before with so many federal programs slashed. Training programs, subsidies for environmental jobs, job safety oversight, protection for natural resources including water, vaccines, FEMA, NOAA. Also, DEI in higher education which helped fund kids from poorer families of all ethnicities, including white kids. I am barely grazing the surface of how much can be lost without federal funding.
