I don't think so, no. They'd be throwing around the "fascist" label, because everyone likes to throw around labels at the other guy, and that's stupid for all the reasons that you've brought up. But there would not be mass protests at the airport, or riotous town halls for state politicians that people couldn't even name last year. It wasn't like this when Bush II was president, not even close. Shame on folks for thinking they had it bad back then, but that doesn't mean it's fair to brush off what's happening now.
The working class has been stigmatized and mistreated and unfairly condemned, yes. But it has largely suffered this from the
rich, not the
liberal, two demographics that I think overlap 50/50 at best.
