Eric, I believe the media says that the dems have lost the blue collar workers and that blue collar workers were instrumental in electing Trump.  The dems of Roosevelt and LBJ served Americans generally.  Those days are long gone just as are the days in the 19th century when dems supported slavery.  Today, the dem party is the party of the elite, the politically correct.  Democratic focus is on special interest groups like those who want freedom to use any bathroom regardless of natural gender.
