Trump elected in 2016. What do the coastal city haves do? Blame it on Trump. The problem is Trump is a criminal. Trump is in cahoots with Putin. 2020, Biden is elected. What does it do? Lets a war start in Ukraine and let the Israelis flatten the homes of one million people and kill tens of thousands in the process. Then gives some loan forgiveness to the mostly children of Democrats (though I don't have data to support). An infrastructure pork bill that any President could pass. Vance could learn a thing or two from Biden's con of the poor.

Now it's 2024 and the wealthy still don't fear what you say is coming in your story. Democracy is working. The real problem is a certain group doesn't believe it will ever really effect them.
