Yes. “class hatred” is the core instrument of marxists, is it not?
While there may be a lot of low income, rural voters that are new to the demographer’s radar screen because they seem to love Trump, it has always been a fun game for the leftists to cheer on democrat’s past monopoly over what they thought was a dependency class, and now that they can’t lay claim to poverty as a means to a political ends, they no longer have a need to project false empathy.
In our country (and a lot of others, indicating this is not an accident) the shift has been from “class hatred” to “race hatred” or “gender hatred”.
Same goals. Different paths.
