All the right-wing reactionary weirdos in my area are all the same guy. Old, bearded, white, “Realtors”. Every single one of them. I’m convinced that becoming a Realtor is a sign of your desperate attempt to escape the class shift from petite-bourgeois to proletariat. Getting your license isn’t that hard, from my understanding.
Often they have failed businesses they are propping up with their Realtor day job. You’ll find them worming around in public comment on municipal zoning code. Sometimes they come in different flavors, maybe they’re the right wing 2A style, perhaps they’re a Christian Evangelical brand, or they’re a disgruntled “veteran” (gotta check their credentials on that stuff) motif. I have one in town who is all three, a figurative scoop of Neapolitan style reactionary garbage (all three flavors in one tub!).
The way capitalism squeezes these people, often forces them into this little Realtor mold. This isn’t some profound analysis, but I bet if we did some qualitative investigating, we’d find they’re all very similar.
Most of the realtors I’ve dealt with are young women. No idea why. All very invested (as it were) in the necessity of their job, at least when I’ve talked to them socially, and always on the side of the landlord in any dispute. Would not know how to even start that conversation
