Did they look at how their own cities and neighborhoods were benefiting from the EU subsidies, or were they angry about being under the thumb of foreign government? Do you think that the poor, working class actively seeks out the objective opinion, reads journal articles, and scientific research or do they look for the person who tells them exactly how they should feel, whether or not it's fact based?

This sums it up perfectly. So much contempt for poor working class people. Can't figure out why they wouldn't line up behind you.
