"working class" 



that's just code for white folks. By the way, black folks are "working class" too.

Could there be ANYthing else that happened around 1968 that alienated WWC voters? Anything?

Terrible analysis. Lazy and self-delusional -
Dems were the party of the KKK in the early 1900s, so the voting rights act doesn't matter & pls ignore that there are no more Dixiecrats
-
That's exactly the point. Ds *were* party for racists in early 1900s. In the 60s, that changed: Ds became party of civil rights, whites fled
-
Ds knew this would happen at the time. LBJ said signing CRA would lose Ds the south for a generation. (turns out it was more than one)
-
Racism isn't specific to a particular party. It's an endemic, systemic part of American cultural life. It requires discussion by all!
-
Only one party worked to disenfranchise black voters in 2016/17, however

I agree with your statements. Many in the base are not worth reeling in, they don't care about all Americans or democracy.
-
And yet many call themselves patriots. I don't understand what patriotic means if it's not caring about society as a whole.

The Democrats' biggest strength is cultural - we do not celebrate racism, misogyny, homophobia, xenophobia. Alienation of those who do?
-
I'm more than fine with losing those people. It's telling that you WSJ see this as a problem. That's the thinking that resulted in 45*.
-
You blame Democrats' core values for potus? I blame the lack of R's decency and honor. He never should have made it out of the primaries.
-
So go ahead WSJ fling responsibility to see where it might stick. But know that your own lack of impartiality and blindness to rot
-
contributed hugely to this horror of an administration. You led your readers to believe that 45* was just a little rough around the edges.
-
You painted a portrait of a straight talking businessman that could take on the DC elites and work for the "forgotten man."
-
So spare me your opinions, WSJ. How far the mighty have fallen. /x
