because the republican party has split the lower and middle classes with emotionally charged cultural wedge issues.
Why do you think the Democratic party, once well known as the party of the working class, no longer holds that distinction?

Election results say it doesn’t.

Blue collar workers overwhelmingly bought Reagans plastic coated flag-waving bullshit and started voting against their interests consistently. By the time Fox News and talk radio rolled around they were completely fucking brainwashed. Still are today.
I don’t see how calling them undereducated buffoons is an argument for or against whether the Democrats have alienated them either way.
And for the record, they were only too happy to vote for flag waving white Jesus over the future of themselves or the country. They alienated themselves.

Tell me again what the voter turnout percentage was?
The vast majority of us are so used to our voices not being heard that we don’t even bother voting. It doesn’t change anything.
You keep talking about how they voted “for” this and that, without even understanding that most people in the USA didn’t vote for anything at all.
