      The first rule of a successful abuse of power is to make people too busy trying to survive to worry about what your policies are

          Trump die-hards are largely petty bourgeois, ie small business owners. They can make their own time.

              No problem!

              The “fun” thing with the petty bourgeois as they relate to Trump is how classes relate to fascism. Fascism materially arises from a frustrated petty bourgeoisie aligning with the Bourgeoisie against the Proletariat along nationalis and xenophobic lines.

          A lot were retired, some police and other minor tyrants, and some were just full time white nationalist organizers.
