Take out the Evangelical Christian component, and the white working class is largely Democratic.
I see it this way: if one is an evangelical Christian one is less likely to attend college, let alone graduate, so if one is a white evangelical Christian one is likely to end up in the working class. This is about as anti-intellectual a group of people as there is, and it sees educated people of any kind as those who exploit and humiliate them.
If not evangelical Christians, white working-class people can support a kid going to college if a skilled trade is unavailable. In this they are little different from non-white working-class people. Racism? They have non-white co-workers in most environments. That will smack racism down more effectively than anything else.
