Apart from this article, I have to say it was quite an experience having Christmas yesterday and all my family talked about was the $2,000 checks. Trump comes out of this looking like the good guy after more than one Dem has publicly talked about how bad this would be.

    Likeliest outcome is that won't talk about it directly but through dogwhistles about its consequences vis a vis immigrants or minorities or "undesirables." Though I do worry that some ghoul will have enough brain cells to address class struggle in direct language a.k.a. going Strasserite. Fascists always appropriate leftist rhetoric, and with the Dems orienting themselves as the party of well-off college educated and suburbanites the field is wide open for it. Trump did it in his own hackneyed dumb way, all it takes is switching your lingo from "socilaist antifa democrats" to "wealthy and rootless cosmopolitan elites."
