I recommend this article "Everyone is Now Middle Class" by Isaac Simpson

Here is my digestion of Isaac’s article:

Taking essential and non-essential government workers off the table... as well as those on welfare and the homeless... as well as professors and administrators in the Universities…

“[Given, throughout history, industrial revolution to present]: The elites [Top-out-of-sight class and Upper class] hate the Kulaks (the self-employed) [Middle-lower class] because they're a genuine threat to their power. The poors [Proletarian and lower classes] hate the Kulaks because they're the poors' bosses", PLUS, paraphrasing: "The Uppers [trustafarians] took over (invaded) the traditional Bobo (Bourgeois Bohemian) 'jobs' [Middle-upper class]. The real Bobos now being reduced to Kulak status as a result -- with their self-employed creative gig-jobs", PLUS, “everyone [in this new, expanded Middle class] have now become workaholics.”

"The elites [Upper class] are pretending to be Bobos [Middle-upper class]—and can and should abandon their Bobo LARP, and, everyone else (including parts of The Proletarian class (e.g. uber drivers)) have been crunched into [being] Kulaks [essentially, self-employed gig workers]". Everyone is Now Middle Class

"Trump... is king of the Kulaks."

Class [roles] in American society:

• Top-out-of-sight

• Upper

• Middle-upper (aka Bobo (Bourgeois Bohemian) -- invaded by the Trustafarians)

• Middle-lower (aka Kulak-self-employed; real Bobos relegated to here, now—they’re now Kulaks, with their self-employed gig jobs)

• Parts of the The Proletarian are also now part of the Middle-lower class (Kulak-self-employed) with there self-employed gig jobs: e.g., uber driver

• Everyone else

ref: Paul Fussel, in his book Class (1984): there are nine classes in America: (Top out-of-sight; Upper; Upper Middle; [Lower] Middle; High proletarian; Middle proletarian; Low proletarian; Destitute; Bottom-out-of-sight)
