I honestly don't believe that shoe understands the majority views that drive the left in this nation, period. Classism, disdain for the rural and the poor is at the core of the influential left's dislike of capitalism, not the concern of the people/working class. Essentially, it is individualism in general and individualism of the rural (which they see as a negative resulting from capitalism dumbing them down) and the poor being bumps in the way of socialism, communism. The rural poor are the biggest group that is hated by the influential left.
Shoe is completely ignorant of how the left views anyone not of the liberal 'elite' of suburbia and urban (gentrified) areas. Those outside that are seen as not being worthy of any rights or defenses and being worthy of all slurs. She, like Vaush, are stepping stones for people. They are stepping stones for leftists who subscribe to such exclusionary, dehumanizing viewpoints. On top of it, the truly influential amongst the left in this nation have no idea who they are and never would associate with the two if they did.
The reality is that the modern left's influencers would much rather impoverish all of rural, small town regions across this country to nullify their votes, voices and any other contributions from them. They'd completely gentrify urban areas to uproot any individualistic, "incongruous" peoples in the way of a 'utopia'. The economic centralization that their socialism requires is about full obedience and cities provide the physical centralization that they need to more easily control populations and shut out "unworthy" voices and views. Modern leftism, socialism, communism et al is about building itself upon identity politics. Does shoe even pick up on why Hollywood is aligning with this? Why actors, actresses, entertainers, media personalities are all aligning with this and donating towards initiatives and PACs with these goals? Even neocon groups are getting in on the game. It isn't because they're concerned about helping the "little people".
