    read a comment, wish i saved it for the drej tank, it went like this in regard to the potential tarrifs:

    “the democrats are the party of the upper middle class now so we’ll weather it, something something leopards faces working class”

      I’m sick of libs weird belief that the entire “working class” are all white rascists men in hard hats that carry their lunch in a pail and vote Trump. Simultaneously they also think the republican base of rich petty bourgeois is “wirking class” because they’re white, drive pickup trucks and listen to country music.

      Basically anyone but the actual working class is what dems imagine they are

        I had a friend from the south and would tell me I was part of the “coastal elite” because I had socialist values. He was working in tech making ~8x what I did working in manufacturing and he thought people should have to pass a competency test on issues to be able to vote for them.

        The “class-based analysis” of the typical american is fundamentally flawed, at least partially due to the shared conviction that there is a nebulous “middle-class” that everyone belongs to.

        yeah good luck carrying your shitty party with just the “upper middle class” i’m sure that’s a demographic that will continue to expand massively as conditions deteriorate
