Related: About this forumDrunk men screaming Trumps name try to rip off Muslim students hijab
It is a bit surprising that Trump's victory is still be framed as victory for the working class, rather than a triumph of hate. I guess this is just to give Republicans cover to privatize Medicare, weaken minimum wage laws, undermine public education, repeal the Affordable Care Act, etc., because afterall, that is what working class Americans want, since they voted for Trump.

Straphangers stood by and watched as three drunk white men repeatedly screamed Donald Trump! and hurled anti-Islam slurs Thursday at a Muslim Baruch College student before trying to rip her hijab off of her head on an East Side subway, the woman told the Daily News.
Yasmin Seweid said she was stunned by the assault and the fact that no one in the subway car came to her aid.
It made me really sad after when I thought about it, she said. People were looking at me and looking at what was happening and no one said a thing. They just looked away.
The terrified 18-year-old recounted her harrowing encounter with the hate-spewing trio.
