the 1% started winning more of the class war than they lost at least as far back as Reagan; the 2008 Great Financial Crash both made their success manifest and boosted the process of impoverishing the rest of us.

Trump won at least in part because he somehow convinced enough voters that he'd try to reverse the trend.

Until we have truly universal and affordable health care and actually effective Wall St. regulation, I'll remain skeptical; right now, those are so far off that few if any politicians are even pretending to advocate for either.
