If this is true, Ken Griffin and the Robinhood founders should be in jail.
This is class warfare.
I have no idea if any of this is true.
I argue economy/bailouts & anger had a large role. But obviously Obama, Obamacare, & racism played big role too.
It's palpable and poll-able how pissed off everyone except the top top % is.
I work in Democratic politics, am a relatively good earner, clearly engaged, and I'm pissed. I have a hard time understanding the other side (MAGA) but they seem even more angry all around - enough to attempt to murder Congress.
Maybe the best hope we have is the 'working class' (at this point I would categorize that as anyone making under $500k) getting pushed so far that we see real change to redistribute wealth and power back down.
I'm skeptical though because the other type of political polarization doesn't help; half these voters identify more for Trump / religious issues than their own interests.
