"financial troubles" obviously not the same thing as "working class" but yeah, the rioters were overwhelmingly financially insecure. It'd be cool and rhetorically convenient if they were all rich boat dealership assholes but that's not the reality.

Temporarily embarrassed millionaires and failing small business tyrants see fascism as a way to regain the status they feel they've lost.
