    Honestly it feels like if you haven't seen the writing on the wall by now nothing is going to shake you out of it. Liberals will keep clinging to institutions and laws while the rug gets pulled out from under them. Sputtering and hoping to just vote their way out of this one.

      I take a different approach:

      Yes, more and more people are failed by capitalism. But porky keeps an in-group of influencers, propagandists and pigs as a force multiplier for their ideology. As once-high paid liberals find their jobs going away, porky just increases the power / resources of the in-group along with creating strategies to bind the poor to the wealthy.

      Therefore the attenuation of the “middle class” is priced into the system, so to speak.

      Class consciousness starts with the part of the working class being exploited the most and grows up from there. More and more comfortable “middle class” workers are beginning to see the cracks in their standards of living.
