5. I hope they say it even MORE.

Everyone not in the 1% sees for themselves who is winning that Class War, and it ain't them.

The Republicans are screwing the pooch on this one, big time, but cannot see it, so they keep trying to play that card in a losing hand.

Even the dimmest of those that watch Fox are starting to realize that they are being played, there is nothing resonating with them from the idea promulgated by the elite 1%'ers that those among them with little to lose need to accept even less in their lives while their wealthy masters need even more, more, more.

There is a lot of unease on the Right, and it is bubbling up from the bottom. They just aren't certain who they are angry at anymore, and why.

It used to be easy for the Republicans, blame the class below yours for everything.

Now, it's not as clear.

The blaming of minorities, the poor, those single parents on welfare, those on food stamps for all of society's ills is starting to falter as they who used to do the blaming themselves fall out of the lower middle class and into the working poor, and need those very same benefits they used to decry others using to survive.

When the Republican Party finally loses the White Lower Middle Class, they are finished...and they know it.
