In reply to the discussion: Why is MAGA so hateful? (best concise explanation I've seen) [View all]Chemical Bill
(3,127 posts)55. I wonder about the definition of "class".
There is an organized faction of people who crave money and power above all else. I don't use the word class to describe them as a group, or personally.
There are other people who have money, more money than Trump, but they don't want the cruelty and destruction of Theil, Musk, et al.
I know people who have money, but worked in the family business starting at the bottom, and were never told that they were better than the people they worked with, who later worked for them.
Perhaps our definitions diverge.
