Class war? Like the rural guys with $80k trucks vs. the urban guys with $80k sedans?

Class war, like the fascist goons with power using their useful idiots, that think they're salt of the earth because they drive a pickup truck, to try and topple the government because "pronouns" and "maybe we still need to get better with respect to racism." They literally want the Turner Diaries to happen. Voting does have some meaningful usefulness, but it's not going to keep these fuckers at bay forever. The problem with the "JUST VOTE OK?!!!!" rhetoric is that it encourages people to stay tuned out but once every couple of years.

Like, I had been warning my liberal friends about the rise of white nationalism for years before Trump. Trump winning surprised them, not me. Was talking to them about neo nazis and eco fascists and they thought the Tree of Life shooting and El Paso shooting came out of left field. We see more and more fascist rhetoric is some of these mass shooters manifestos and history, and run of the mill libs are still doing the "lol, nazis, ok dude, whatever you say looney."
