Party Realignment

We’ve written about the working class moving from the Democrats to the Republicans, something that is in their interest to do. Now Frontpage Magazine has a good article on the subject.

Much of the move is attributable to the policy positions taken by Donald Trump when he ran in 2016, and his subsequent actions in office. While no miracle worker, he definitely put the weight of the office behind moves aimed to improve the lives of blue-collar workers. And he succeeded more than he failed, as prosperity was booming before the Chinese flu hit a year ago.

Also big factors are the social justice policies espoused by the Democrats, which mostly take from the working class and give to various “victim” groups whose patron the Ds have become.
