Sure, but if we're talking about co-opting the anger around wealth inequality, that particular fight ended with Occupy Wall Street becoming Black Lives Matter.

- germinalphrase 4y agoI actually disagree somewhat. A great of MAGA rhetoric was/is about elites abusing their positions at the expense of regular folk. Trump was viewed as an insider telling people the truth about how the sausage gets made.
- Firmwarrior 4y agoyeah, but MAGA is even more diffuse and ineffective as a movement than Occupy was Occupy was seriously thinking about killing the rich, but MAGA just has some nebulous ideas that there are pedophile cannibals sneaking around and that social media and the news are heavily biased Plus there's the fact that Occupy Wall Street was popular among pretty much everyone below a certain wealth level, but now everyone from that demographic is split up into smaller groups who hate each other: MAGA, Bernie Bros, "Hillary/Biden or You're A Nazi", etc
- germinalphrase 4y agoCan anyone recommend any solid writing about this?
