It will at least afflict the comfortable, otherwise they wouldn't be so opposed.
And that's fine. We've been running on a twisted "win-win" logic in this country for a long time: no policy can be pursued where the working class "wins" unless the well-off also "win" (because if they don't, there will be much whining), but if the working class loses it's "Who cares! They've got to suck it up and adapt. Be more grateful and go fill the holes in your life with cheap shit from Walmart."
Enough of that, and a lot of people rightly stop caring if things can get worse. Trump is the chickens coming home to roost. If people didn't want this outcome, they should've gotten together to fix the problems with neoliberalism.
Are there problems? Sure! But "fixes" that just makes everyone* worse of helps.. nobody.

I get the feeling, but it's still dumb: "My neighbor is playing loud music, so I'm going to burn down the block. Ok, so I don't have an apartment anymore, but at least hes not plying loud music anymore!! Win!!"
* well, not the rich. They will be fine, at least in the short to medium term
