I have known a great many upper 20% salary classers who think they're middle class who think we are living in times of persecution. They continually fail to understand that they are the ones with the most privilege keeping everyone else down. For instance, take my ex-friend who inherited his grandmother's three bedroom house as his stepfather pays for his continuing college/gradschool. He thinks of himself as poor. He felt persecuted by the Trump administration. Now that Biden is in, it is worse because there is no longer a convenient scapegoat.

Scapegoat for what? What is he upset about? (Decline in general? Or...?)

He hates his life -- he blames others for his misery and is especially vicious to his immediate family despite relying upon them as he is well into his 30s. Trump is just another blame-target for him -- a straw man to heap all of the ills of the world upon.

He probably hates his family because he relies on them. That arrangement can breed resentment. Especially for a guy in his mid-30s or over.

I don't hang out with him anymore, but when he was in his early 30s, his mom still made him lunch every day. He trash talks his mother right in front of her face, talks about how he wishes he was never born, calls her stupid, ugly, etc. He's a real mess; verbally abusive to her. I wouldn't be surprised if he was physically abusive to her as well. She still shows up every day to make him lunch at his deceased grandmother's house.
