The Christians are/were being oppressed by blues in blue regions and areas. I'm not feeling it myself because I'm not all that much of a Christian and not all that deep into Christianity. I'm not feeling all that oppressed by the so-called one percent either because I'm not all that associated with them as a group and I'm not all that financially attached or financially reliant (reliant on their tax dollars for welfare programs or their financial contributions as individuals) on them. At times, I pointed to the blues who were doing all that they could do to oppress me at the time, that what they were doing was oppression. I didn't cry fowl or whine about it.. I just pointed it out so they understood why I was directly involved with defeating them and eliminating them. I don't see any blue bully's or the blue wimps who followed or went along with them posting and making the lives and the experience of posting miserable for others anymore. Hint: I'm a mean old son of a bitch. A formidable adversary to those who like to oppress and those get into oppressing and those who seem willing to go along with it.
Since the economy crashed a decade ago, that 1% has grabbed fully 84% of all the gains in the economy. Most people are still recovering, but the 1% are flying high -- especially so for the .01%. Ross Douthat wrote about it in the NY Times in February. Ross is an old-style conservative, so this is not a shot from Blue America.
