108. Only it's an economic view centered entirely on the middle to upper-middle class

with no concern for the poor or those less privileged than themselves. In fact, they specifically argue against policies designed to address inequality in favor of those targeted at upper-middle class, people of considerable means who pretend they are oppressed because .1% of the world and 10 % of Americans have more than they do.

One example is education. They oppose federal resources being directed toward the needy. (eg. Chapo trap house's contempt for need-based funding for higher education). I've seen people who claim to be on the left insist that addressing inequality in K-12, which cements generations of poverty, was less important than ensuring people with incomes over $250k are entitled to "free" education. In the same breath, they will proclaim their opposition to equal rights and insist they can't support the Democratic Party because it doesn't value "equality"--meaning ensuring the wealth of white men like them at the expense of impoverishment for the many. So yes, it's an economic view, but one centered entirely on their own class interests over the poor.

Note that for all the talk about "corporatism" and banks, they haven't devoted one moment's attention, not one proposal or demand toward corporations or banks. Instead, they have focused on eroding civil rights and reproductive rights, driving women and people of color from party leadership and elected office, and instead insisting that Democrats must remake the party to cater to their sense of entitlement.
That entire discourse of corporatism is a transparent ruse that is used to enforce a reactionary class project that shares more than a passing resemblance to white nationalism.

I saw one on Twitter today say he was happy Trump won. They chose Trump over Clinton because Trump promotes white male entitlement. Even after seeing Nazis with Tiki torches terrorize Charlottesville, even after seeing a massive rise in hate crimes, they are happy Trump won because Trump is a perfect reflection of their souls.

The Democratic Party is the one area of political life where white male supremacy doesn't prevail, and that is precisely why they despise it and why they have set about trying to ensure that it abandons all support for and representation of people of color, women, and the poor.
