For you, perhaps.
I think it would be both proper and fitting for the Democratic party and its strongholds to end by succumbing to a proletarian revolution myself.
Let's start by agreeing that any change this dramatic will trigger some degree of violence -- how much is still TBD. But let's assume that at least two sides are ideologically wedded to fighting to the end. If so, then yes, a proletarian revolution will hurt everyone.
FWIW, I don't see the proletariat revolting. I see the petty bourgeoise carrying that torch. The proletariat are too burdened to "mount the barricades", but a put upon class of small business owners like you might take it on. You have the grievance part down pat.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
