An NBC News poll released last week reflects one of the most significant political trends of the past 30 years – the realignment of blue-collar workers who’ve left the party of Planned Parenthood and Drag Queen Story Hour for the party of energy-independence, fair-trade deals and border security.
The poll shows that between 2010 and 2020, the Republican share of blue- collar votes rose from 45% to 57%. Within the same demographic, its Hispanic vote went from 23% to 36%, while its black working-class vote went from 5% to 12%.
Damn right.

‘The geezer in the White House is becoming a job-killing machine.’
Must Read by CNN, network dems.

Old habits die hard. But only 12% for the only party which freed slaves, fought segregation, and wasn't party to the KKK? That's 88% clueless.

Those numbers, although citing a 10-year span, are Trump's numbers. Before Trump the GOP was attracting some blue collar, but it was The Donald and his love of our country and common sense policies that put them solidly in the Republican corner. Now the GOPe is doing everything in their power to drive these voters away. The last thing the Stupid Wing of the Uniparty wants or needs is to be the majority. Hopefully, President Trump's PAC will drain mega-MAGA dollars away from the GOPe cadavers.
MAGA - Accept no substitutes.

Encouraging article but we don't count votes in American elections anymore.

Hubby and I were discussing this last night. The reason for the movement to President Trump is because he is the first President that doesn’t seem ashamed of blue collar workers. He understands their worth and does not look down on their labor because as a builder he knows their importance. The political class despises blue collar workers and only tolerates them because they know they are needed to keep the economy humming and having their personal needs met. They wouldn’t dare share a cup of coffee with them. You can tell Trump is comfortable around regular working Americans and people have picked up on that. The fact that his policies made their lives better was icing on the cake. He made many blue collar workers more interested in politics because they understood there was a guy who was actually on their side. They felt they finally had an advocate in the ruling class. They are going no where either because these people are loyal. They know what the word means and it is important to them. President Trump’s followers will only grow because democrats are confirming what they always thought. They are in it for themselves and the ruling class.

Totally agree with poster 7 but if I can add one more reason. When I attended Trump's rally in January 2019 I came away with the feeling that our President was talking TO us not AT us. Talking to the audience with respect as if we are mature adults who have a brain not victimized children (idiots) who need help from the government to get through life.

Thank you #7 for your comments. #8, I understand what you mean but I usually think of it in these terms - you can always tell when someone is talking "to" or "at" you but it makes a difference when someone talks "with" you. It always seems like Donald Trump is trying, in as much as he can, to talk with you. . .

We are looking for a leader, not a pal.

This is why the DemoNazi's are working feverishly to pass their COMMIE laws. WHEN a staunch Conservative wins the Presidency again, and it WILL happen, all of the Commies, Perverts, Lawless Scum need to be outed and REMOVED, permanently!
