THIS REALLY IS HUGE

Donald Trump has forced conservatives at the NRO and other places to turn on the Bubbas that are an important part of the GOP base. 

Kevin Williamson has the harshest conservative critique of what is often called poor white trash:
The truth about these dysfunctional, downscale communities is that they deserve to die. Economically, they are negative assets. Morally, they are indefensible. Forget all your cheap theatrical Bruce Springsteen crap. Forget your sanctimony about struggling Rust Belt factory towns and your conspiracy theories about the wily Orientals stealing our jobs. Forget your goddamned gypsum, and, if he has a problem with that, forget Ed Burke, too. The white American underclass is in thrall to a vicious, selfish culture whose main products are misery and used heroin needles. Donald Trump’s speeches make them feel good. So does OxyContin. What they need isn’t analgesics, literal or political. They need real opportunity, which means that they need real change, which means that they need U-Haul.
This was in the NRO shortly after the Williamson piece of hate:
Working-Class Whites Have Moral Responsibilities -- In Defense of Kevin Williamson

What is the nomenclature equivalent of "Bubba" in the unfortunately unwary Democratic base?

Hick?

How about "bitter clingers" instead?

On a more serious note, these people have indeed been marginalized by both parties.

I meant the term for Dem. base naifs. Is there one other than non-rappers are forbidden to use?
It is an economic fact that African Americans are hurt by hispanic immigration yet they first force Sanders 'leftward' on that issue then still mass to "three strikes"/"bail out the banksters with black working class dollars" Hillary?
That's the equivalent of tea partiers having thrown their votes to McCain and Romney.

Ok, I get you intention now. Are you sure Blacks are hurt by Hispanic immigration?

"When Obama gave virtual amnesty to 5 million undocumented immigrants last year, leaders of Project 21, a black conservative leadership network, were very critical and quoted a U. S Civil Rights Commission finding that “ illegal immigrants depress both wages and employment rates for low-skilled American citizens, a disproportionate number of whom are black men.”
