Your remarks are known as "Bromides." A Bromide is a trite, banal, statement that is intended to soothe or placate, like, "Follow your dreams !" or "Love conquers all." Your statements: "It's a little bit of everything in today's world" and"You've got rich, poor, and everyone twixt and between that vote Democrat or Republican," are bromides intended to evade confronting a fact. It is an ugly fact, that has been devastating America ,in particular, since the current Biden Democratic was installed in Jan of 2021.
The Democratic Party has, indeed, become the political party of the extremely wealthy. There's no doubt about it, Green Lizard !
You claim that:
"You really can't make generalisations about the income level or wealth of people that vote Democrat or Republican."
I ain't so sure about that, Green Lizard.
Coz ain't it true that ever since the days of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democrats have claimed the title, (often falsely), of being the Party of the working man. Take good ol', "Scanton Joe" (Biden), "Lunch Pail - Joe, the honest, "salt of the Earth" champion of the American worker! (pardon me a moment while I barf). To continue. Back in the day of FDR, many in the South - both White and Black developed a dedication to Franklin Roosevelt and the Democratic Party because of "New Deal" policies. To quote the famous ballad,
"Song of the South," by the country music band ,
"Alabama"....
(A ONE, A TWO - A ONE-TWO-THREE-FOUR....)
"Cotton on the roadside, cotton in the ditch
We all picked the cotton but we never got rich
Daddy was a veteran, a Southern Democrat
They ought to get a rich man to vote like that....
Well somebody told us Wall Street fell
But we were so poor that we couldn't tell
The cotton was short and the weeds was tall
But Mr Roosevelt's a gonna save us all."
But here's is some "hot poop" for you, Green Lizard, in the form of hard data published by the IRS in 2022 that shows the Democratic Party's transition from the party of the working man to the Party of the very rich is complete.
The IRS research data I refer to (published in 2022) shows that 65% of US taxpayers with a household income of $500,000 or more were in Democrat districts, white 74% of taxpayers with a household income of $100,000 or less were in Republican Districts.
While this reversal has been going on for for years, the change has been particularly noticeable since the 2016 election of Donald Trump, who won not only in the South and Mid-West, but also the "Rust Belt" states, once off limits to Republicans. Right, Green Lizard ? What happened in 2016 was not a victory for hatefulness over decency. It is best understood as a repudiation of the American power structure. The Democratic Party had cozied up to Wall Street, the super-wealthy elites of Silicon Vally and the political class, rather than supporting America's working-middle classes.
Now the American working - middle classes are rejecting the Democratic Party because despite its years of promising to support them and being rewarded with power, the Democratic Party did
NOTHING to stop their decline - quite the opposite.
If you wish to remind me that Joe Biden's Democrat Party defeated Donald Trump in 2020, I have to tell you that I, along with 75 million Americans do not believe it. The 2020 election was stolen from Trump. Mail-in ballot fraud was a large factor, as well as rigged software in Dominion electronic voting machines and God knows how many other dirty electoral tricks robbed Trump of victory.
The Democrat Party are just a shower of morally-bankrupt, "skanky hoes" turning tricks for the super - wealthy, globalist dudes on Wall Street and in the Big Tech companies of Silicon valley, and such like.
