Also, it's a lie to say that the "white working class" was trumps swing base. It's really not because most of the white working class, especially women are still strongly to the left. It's more that solid middle class, upper middle class, business owners and college graduates voted for Trump. Yes, there were some swings in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and Michigan but not by much, just a few percentage points. The same small town in Ohio ravaged by Opium addiction, unemployment and blight is the same small town that voted for Barack Obama twice and then elected a Democrat congressional representative in 2018 so no, the lower middle class white population isn't a reliable conservative, Republican voter. Mostly because they are rapidly deteriorating in the same manner we see in the black urban inner city...out of wedlock children, cohabitation instead of marriage, don't belong to a church, don't volunteer, divorce, single parenthood, low academic achievement etc.

Furthermore, the Democrat party if viewed from a the lens of class is the party over the middle class. The Democrat voter is the wealthy, from those who earn $300,000 a year to though the trust fund baby, on the one hand and the teeming uneducated, unskilled, unemployed, no high school degree on the other hand. The Democrats do not dominate in any sector of the Middle Class that is skilled, employed and has a high school degree to some post graduate studies. Democrat voters on the extreme ends of the class structure. Republican voters solidly occupy the middle class especially the solid middle class.
