The liberal left needs to find a way to win the uneducated working class back onside. And unsurprisingly, sneering at their backwards, unsophisticated cultural beliefs doesn’t work.

What does seem to work in getting them onside is lying to them about everything, whipping them into a froth to go protest things they don't understand, and targeting their most primal fears. Are you saying the left should follow that strategy? Seems to work, even if it is working to destroy society.
