There is a "worker" uprising, and that's why there is a rise of socialism, aka "Democrat" socialism, aka communism. As we see with the nominations of Abdul El-Sayed and (soon to be) Francesca Hong, it's not just for deep blue districts where Democrat primary voters are too lazy to vote. But how are we defining "worker?" Mike Rowe found a piece of data that, if the GOP were smart, we'd focus on in the midterms. Or, we can just complain that Iran is why people are paying $20 for a burrito (I'm paraphrasing).

The schtick is that Democrat Socialists are "laser focused" on "affordability," and that they are appealing to the middle and/or working class. It all depends on how you define "middle" and "working." A family of four working two jobs? Or someone who ran up student loans for a gender studies degree they/them suddenly discovered that they can't find a job in.

It's the latter.

I don’t know if you saw this, but the stat that got me within the democratic party right now, 59% of Democrats who support socialism have college degrees. ...so this thing that’s being called a ‘worker uprising,’ it’s really not. It’s not. ... This is happening because a lot of people with a really expensive credential are in the hole in a big way.

Republicans need to focus on who Democrat Socilism is REALLY for, because it's not the middle class. It's not about filling potholes or school libraries. It's not even about making healthcare affordable. It's about putting the government in charge of it, and raising taxes on the middle class to do so.

But don't take my word for it. Here is Dr. Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, who neither he nor his doctor wife accepts Medicare, admitting what it will take to put everyone on Medicare.

Whoops, wrong tweet.

Don't get me wrong. The GOP needs to do a better job addressing voters' affordability concerns. Or, do any job addressing voters' affordability concerns. A noun and a verb and a BUT SOCIALISM only goes so far. Not to mention, the people who think BUT SOCIALISM is a good thing are the ones more motivated to vote in the midterms right now.

BUT SOCIALISM needs to be married with messaging pointing out who it's really for and who the democratic socialists are really concerned about. HINT: if you're blue-collar, working-class, or have a family... not you.
