The Jan 6ers made the time. Not sure how many jobs they have.

Trump die-hards are largely petty bourgeois, ie small business owners. They can make their own time.

Had not heard this term before, so I learned something new today. Thank you. And yes, this explains a lot.

The "fun" thing with the petty bourgeois as they relate to Trump is how classes relate to fascism. Fascism materially arises from a frustrated petty bourgeoisie aligning with the Bourgeoisie against the Proletariat along nationalis and xenophobic lines.

Petit* bourgeois, it's French so you spelled it like it sounds.

Then? Unemployment. Now? Unemployment.

A lot were retired, some police and other minor tyrants, and some were just full time white nationalist organizers.
