In isolation that is not a right-wing thing to say, but a typical pundit statement.

I'm as anti-pundit as anyone, but on the surface it is true. Working class (not truly "the little guy") has turned right wing, while service and consumer businesses (not "big business" — finance, extractive and fossil industry as retrograde as ever) have grown concerned about right-wing policies.

The Democrats used to have an unhealthy with the , now it is the Trump mafia.

Democratic Senator #RubenGallego (#Arizona) did a $5,000 a plate dinner with broligarch /Nerd Reich billionaire #MarcAndreessen and Matt Yglesias at the same time as #AOC and #BernieSanders were doing their recent rally in #Tucson.

The US Congress has been captured by the industry on both sides, not just the Republicans. Gallego was one of the largest recipients of the money laundering industry's - sorry, i mean "the crypto industry's" - financial support in the 2024 election. He's a disaster for the country.

#HowardLutnick is claiming he has sold 1,000 permanent US residence permits for $5 million each (Trump's "Gold Cards") to the world's wealthiest kleptocrats, oligarchs, and crypto bros (though he doesn't describe them that way).

note that these people will be able to live in the US but (unlike US citizens) will not have to pay taxes on their foreign income.

you should expect america's billionaires to start "emigrating" to other countries and "coming back" as Gold Card holders for tax reasons.
