I think that’s actually a pretty common view, just not often loudly professed by people with power or platforms.

I hope youre right.

In my lived experience... no, it is not.

90% of poor or moderately well off people I've known will still argue for supply side Jesus right up untill the moment their worldview is actually applied to them personally.

EDIT: And then the 10% that do agree with that idea theoretically, well they absolutely never apply it personally, in their own lives, amongst people they know personally.
