Who lost the election? Anyone who earns minimum wage
Do the math on Trump's budget and you'll see the inevitable: he and the House Republicans are going to absolutely steamroll benefits for the poor. He says he'll cut $6 trillion in taxes, while House Republicans say they'll keep a balanced budget. But Trump says military spending, Social Security, and Medicare are off-limits. That means good-bye to federal housing, energy, and education transfers.
That's not to mention Obamacare, which also protects poor people without access to insurance through their employers, and is surely toast. That means it's not blue-collar whites with the most at stake: "The workers with the most on the line earn minimum wage, or close to it, and they often rely on government-paid or government-subsidized health plans. They are disproportionately black or Latino."
