That seems like it's just a mirror of the liberal party to me. The vocal defenders of Biden also seem to mostly be the top 10% of income earners, but with college degrees.
So the only political representation in this country is a bunch of rich people, and the only divide between them is whether their career path involved a college degree or not. Do you stand with Michael Rapaport or Brianna Wu? Democracy!
Your analysis is solid and I think that's a really important lesson that I hope more people take away.
Yep, the difference between the two parties is which faction of capital they represent.
Ironically, Trump fits more in the lib party mold (private prep school, Ivy League, east coast urban elite) but he presents like a small business owner. He makes the decisions, who gets hired and who gets fired, slaps his name on everything so his businesses look tangible and not like opaque financialization tools.
