It's only "class warfare" when the rich are the target. Since the 1980's the wealth divide has increased, the rich got richer, working people and the poor have been losing, but that's not "class warfare."https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1089194158961684480 …
No, I'm not equating deportation with taxation. I'm equating the political tactic of stoking partisan feeling by naming individuals you want to tax with the political tactic of stoking partisan feeling by naming individuals you want to deport.

That’s a legitimate argument. I don’t buy the equivalence though, because the language used is so different, and what we are talking about is messaging (to respective bases). When Democrats begin referring to named billionaires as disease-spreading vermin, I’ll check back.

The precise language was "killers and rapists."

There is a class warfare and the Democrats have made it appealing to go after the wealthy and demonized them as an outgroup similar to how the GOP has done to illegals and to the extreme comparison Mccarthyism. Have to demonize someone for populism to work. Ask hitler or Mao

I wish we could go back a few decades to a time when the outgroup was not a part of this country or to something less tangible like climate change
