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

      Had not heard this term before, so I learned something new today. Thank you. And yes, this explains a lot.

        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.

      Petit* bourgeois, it’s French so you spelled it like it sounds.

      Cops make a surprisingly high amount of money.
