GOP ELITES, courted this base. These representatives of the ELITE, BILLIONAIRE, CORPORATE class,educated in the most ELITE colleges,the inheritors of family wealth, attendees of Choate,Phillips Exeter and Deerfield Schools, those who run the biggest companies,the highest tiers...
...of the GOP, the party of Big Business. They went after this base. And they went after them with the superiority, contempt and all the assumptions that come with tremendous privilige, that they could CONTROL this base.
The same assumption that the ruling aristocracy has always held about the working class, that they are stupid, uneducated and easily controlled.
They are NOT the friend of the working class, they never have been.
They use them, manipulate them

But its biting them in the ass right now. The GOP is becoming the face of bigotry, racism, homophobia, sexism and those elites are squirming.
They are Dr. Frankenstein and the monster they created is running amuck.

If the Dems could find their core values ever again, they would return to the party of FDR. The party that actually was the champion of the working class, instead of corporations. The party of social security, unions, and a government FOR the people not big business
And the saddest part of this, is just how marginalized working people have always been and continue to be. Their jobs were sold overseas, by big business, supported by the GOP and the Dems. No one is coming to save them. The population and the money is going urban and suburban...
Coal and Steel are not coming back. Those towns will be left to die. There will be photo ops that keep people believing otherwise. The perpetrators know that those people have no power and eventually will die off due to old age or opioids. Then they will be forgotten.
Just like the thriving small town businesses that were wiped out by Walmart and Home Depot.
Suburbs anchored by the shopping center with the Target, Michaels, Bed Bath and Beyond, replaced Main Street.
Anyone remember Main Street??

Remember all those articles 20 years ago about small business being wiped out by Walmart???
It is all of one piece.
It is all of one piece.
Well that is the future. Suburbs with corporate shopping malls, and revived urban main streets, filled with chic farm to table restaurants and Pilates studios.
And guess what else is there? The majority of voters.
