This woman feels like there used to be a social contact that has now been broken.
It's very important for us all to remember this is not true. When she grew up there was still many, even most people in the US who worked hard all their life and weren't rewarded. There was never a social contact that included everyone, generally speaking it tended to be between property owners, business owners and the (disproportionately white) professional class, which is maybe all told 40% of the US population.
What is actually happening is simply a constriction, where rich kids who go off and get degrees can no longer expect to be included in the contract. The new rage you're seeing is the children of a professional class who are angry that they can no longer expect their life to be better than most people in the US.
Well if it’s not the completely predictable consequences of what they, themselves, voted for.
Yes. But when you catch a reactionary being a hypocrite they just double down.
The comments on fox are all 'shouldn't had wasted money on a shitty degree', 'HELICOPTER MOM', 'It worked for me'.
Not to mention fox just blames inflation as an cheap political point.
I'm ranting aren't i?

Absolutely no solidarity among these people. What a miserable existence.
Hi. it doesn't matter who you vote for in the united states, you get a capitalist dictatorship with either party.
A class dictatorship is a dictatorship of a social class, rather than the dictatorship of an individual with a cult of personality. America is a class dictatorship of the capitalists, and the Democrats are the """left"'"" wing of the capitalists and the Republicans are the right wing of the capitalists. There is almost zero working class representation in the legislative, executive, or judicial branches. Most people in all 3 branches of government make money off of investments (capitalism) and sinecures (do-nothing rubber stamp jobs with high salaries). They also rig the economy in their class interests (insider trading, deregulation, privatization, rolling back labor rights, etc.). The capitalists as a class are the people who own the means of production, and profit passively from investments. They do not need to sell their labor power to an employer as a commodity for less than its full value in order to survive. The rest of us, the proletariat, do in fact have to sell our labor power to private employers for less than its full value. Revenue is wages plus profit. Revenue is created by labor. Profit is unpaid labor. Wages is paid labor. Profit is the difference between what labor creates (revenue) and what it receives (wages). The capitalist class pockets the unpaid labor (surplus value, profit) and reinvests it into expanding production. If an individual capitalist decides to be nice to workers, and does not pocket surplus value, this does not matter on the whole, they cannot expand production without profit, and are therefore driven from the market by "market forces" (the class dictatorship), and have their business and assets acquired by more ruthless capitalists who are willing to appropriate and reinvest surplus value in expanding production. Let me know if you have any questions.
Both working class democrats and working class republicans are voting against their own interests by continuing to vote at all. But yes, the Republicans are more openly vile, hostile, reactionary, and bigoted with their rhetoric while democrats pretend to be allies to marginalized people, in order to lull them into a false sense of security and make them feel represented.
Get off the reform merry-go-round and on the revolution bus (won't depart until full)
