I doubt there'll be fallout but I do anticipate some idiots letting off steam either way. This country is in the midst of a power struggle between the haves and have-nots and we had that in the late 19th and early 20th centuries which is right around the time home ownership among working-class people began to take shape as did the working blue collar middle class which did not exist until Government and Labor Unions stepped in in the 1930s/1940s and created and much like today, back then the Elites and Corps fought against it but it happened and it lasted until the mid 1970s and the Corporate Coup D"Etat which decimated this country and we've never recovered and probably never will because the jobs lost during that coup and outsourcing, are never coming back and those jobs have been replaced by jobs like amazon, ups, telemarketing, and other service oriented low paying jobs.

People tend to forget that until the New Deal came into play in the mid 1930s, most working class people had no safety net i.e. no employer benefits, no retirement plans, no SS, no Workman's Comp, no Unemployment etc none of that existed prior to the 1930s and 1940s and men like Andrew Carnegie, John Rockefeller etc treated their workers who 98% White men back then, like crap because we're always told the stories about these guys that glorify them and not the complete truth

Carnegie went to Scotland and left his steel mill boss Henry Frick in charge of his Homestead PA mill and when workers began an attempt to unionize, Frick called in the Pinkerton Security force which led to a gun fight with 10 mill workers shot dead.

Rockefeller reportedly orchestrated what became known as the Ludlow Massacre in Colorado when workers went on strike. They were attacked by the Colorado National Guard with people believing Rockefeller sent them in to quell the unionizers. 21 people including some miners and their wives and kids were killed during the raid so these people often get treated like Gods but in reality they were nothing more at that time than modern era slave and plantation owners because keep in mind in the 1880s, slavery had only been out of existence for a little over 20 years so that plantation owner mindset was very much present back then and to a degree that mindset still exists today in 2020 because whether anyone agrees or not America was and is a slave colony.

That's what the Colonies were founded on slavery and free labor performed by people that were Property of another human being sadly.
