As an ex construction worker myself I’m gonna have to disagree with you on the “alienating” part. A massive portion of nonunion blue collar laborers are more interested in finding new people to hate or blame for their shitty lives (witch theyr proud of for some reason) rather than take responsibility for their actions.

I might also add that since these kind of laborers are basically all still stuck in highschool mentally (if even that Intelligent) they have tend to mob up and berate any non aggressive talking points into the dirt. The owners love this kinda shit, cuz it prevents unionizing anD usually back the worst of them.

The DNC isn’t to blame for shit like that, these folks were raised to hate thinking and reading. The problem is cultural.
