You seem to be talking about politics as a matter of family belief. I'm not sure what that has to do with class as I understand it. Could you clarify?

On the class and politics issue, my own take is that class inevitably plays a role but it's sometimes hard to identify the critter. Footprints are somewhat overlayed by the two party system which, in former years tended to embody different class interests, now complicates, fuzzes them over. The Reps fuse together big business, country club interests with evangelical right wing nascar types (in the crudest rendering of this). While the Dems have morphed into a sort of union, sort of minorities, sort of entertainment industry, sort of vessel of fused class interests. This fusing then tends to give rise to some of the famous wedge issues.
