> Republicans are currently controlled by non-college-educated blue-collar people.
This characterization lacks credibility. Let's look at some leaders:
- Lindsey Graham [0]
- Mitch McConnell [1]
- Kevin McCarthy [2]
- Ronna McDaniel [3]
Characterizing them as "non-college-educated blue-collar people" is odd. First, what do you have against working class people? Second, what inference are you trying to make with college education?

Maybe? Bloomberg famously tried to buy an election and the DNC certainly capitulated. I don't know that I'd call that "anti-rich", I think I might use the word "opportunistic". In a time where we're dealing with a lot of inequality guess what kind of opportunity is rife for exploitation? The kind that makes Dick Costolo think he's not "rich". [4]
