Trump supporters

New York Times columnist Bret Stephens said Trump's supporters were right to be angry at the system. The Times published a series of articles saying they were wrong to label Trump supporters as appalling. Stevens wrote in 2015, if by now you don't find Trump appalling you are appalling. "What Trump’s supporters saw was a candidate whose entire being was a proudly raised middle finger at a self-satisfied elite that had produced a failing status quo," he asserted.  "I was blind to this," Stephens admitted. "I belonged to a social class that my friend Peggy Noonan called ‘the protected’," he said and acknowledged his own financial luxuries.  While the low to middle income people watched their buying power go down for forty years the elite were moving slowly upward. The demarcation line was white and college educated and that is continuing today. The democrats are gaining support among this group and losing support in the blue collar and minority groups. Here is a quote from left leaning Axios. The big picture: Republicans are becoming more working class and a little more multiracial. Democrats are becoming more elite and a little more white. During the Trump years Hispanics started leaving the democratic party. Here is a quote from the right leaning Washington Examiner. Hispanic voters are rapidly reevaluating their relationship with the Democratic Party, creating a problem for Democrats that, in some ways, mirrors their struggle to retain working-class voters.
