For at least tens of millions it's not so much class consciousness, more like class cluelessness - somehow they think they have something in common with a guy like Trump. They don't grasp that they're expendable peasants he doesn't give two shits about. Even when he buses them out to his rallies and strands them, they still don't get a clue.

class consciousness in regards to healthcare abuses, class cluelessness in regard to trump’s actual values

both can be true
