As someone who doesn't dare hope for better than preventing a Trump Empire, the continued stock market plunge makes me feel more hopeful than I have in a long time. Trump is giving the capitalists everything and it's not working.

I mean, I'm in the managerial class by family lineage and former profession, even if I'm blue collar by current occupation. Neither of my parents have voted for a Republican since before Bush (and my mom never)

I guess it just seems to me that if the alleged "PMC" held such power, Elizabeth Warren would be coasting to the Presidency right now

The "PMC" DOES depend on passively invested stocks in IRAs and 401ks though, so that should be a motivator (IMO the "PMC" are "working class people with good jobs who went to college")

Yeah I guess it's "access to a 401k" that makes people use "PMC" as a synonym for the old term "petit bourgeois" though I still don't think it works the way they think it does

The majority of people who are wealthy without having "PMC traits" (like the college degree) are people who have *actual capital* and not "social capital", the various people who inherit small local businesses from their parents and are the most loyal Trump voters

And I think in most ways those people are the actual "petit bourgeois" in our society and saying that someone with a degree who works in an office but still lives paycheck to paycheck is up a rung on the class ladder from them is completely wrong
