You’ve just found the giant gaping hole in Marxist theory. Capitalism is built on chauvinism, bigotry, and supremacy precisely because in-group solidarity is more powerful than anything built on artificial class economic interests.
Imagining that race/gender/sexuality difference will fade away once class solidarity is achieved is arguing that capitalism must be defeated before we can resist it.
Isn’t the argument more like class solidarity has to be achieved in order to effectively resist capitalism? This does entail the hard work of first opening people’s eyes to basic truths by humane means, which capitalism is designed to prevent, thus the struggle. I see no gaping hole here?
They are opposed to your existence because our class enemies have lied to them, not because they are evil people.
With education their anger (which is based on material reality; right wing demagogues consistently blame out groups (immigrants, trans people, women etc) for real issues like cost of living) can be channeled into opposing the capitalists and achieving true class liberation. Many Trump voters are moving leftwards because of the economic devastation that every US voter is feeling, and writing them all off is unhelpful to our cause.
Are “Trump voters moving leftwards” or is there simply a brief alignment of desires?
Thing is they have little to no effect on you by their numbers alone. Its the way they are manipulated. I mean you don’t need to have solidarity you just need to recognize where the real problem is. Which is wealth disparity. I mean most people live in cities. How do you feel hanging in a city compared to hanging in rural areas?

Damn near everything you own was made by somebody else. You would have no time to do anything if you had to do it all yourself. We all need each other so, why are you out here acting like this?
