"The Republican Party, in League With the Upper Classes, Is Engaged in an All-Out Class War Against the Working and Middle Classes"

"Trump's war on women and people of color stems from an irrefutable record of racism and misogyny. But it is facilitated by a specific economic platform. Trumpism cannot be destroyed without reckoning with its economic dimension. The risk it poses is best understood through the same terms that propelled the American labor movement to its early victories: The problem is class war, and the solution is a clear, vibrant left-wing platform. Instead, some Democrats ally with payday lenders and wrings hands over the deficit; others still denigrate single-payer health care as a futile dream. Would-be social reformers look to Silicon Valley and corporate donors for solutions, as if the people who are perpetuating our inequalities have it in their best interest to solve them."

Sarah Jones at the New Republic describes how Donald Trump's presidency demonstrates "a sustained disdain for common people and an allegiance to the rich."
