You mean the theory liberals (intentionally or unintentionally) seem incapable of comprehending?
I'm sure the guy who called the NFL "N***ers For Life" would be a solid Democratic voter if only they proposed seizing the means of production. Lol
Nice strawman argument. Except the economic anxiety theory has never applied to (a) regular Republican voters or (b) ardent Trump supporters. It's designed to explain the American voters who switched from Obama in 2012 to Trump in 2016; I'd also contend that it should apply to those who voted for Obama in 2012 but abstained in 2016.
I don't think any rational person believes by adopting a Socialist or even Social Democratic/Populist policy program and rhetoric would win every working class voter. It's about reclaiming many of the White working-class voters who're open to such policies yet have been alienated from the Democratic Party, which could include many Republicans, but especially voters who don't participate. Turnout is always considerably higher the further you climb the socioeconomic ladder, so a lot of White working-class voters simply don't vote due to alienation from the existing political system. The point is to correct that; if we can drive up turnout for Democrats among currently abstaining White voters then you'll see the Republican percentage share of this demographic decline considerably.
Your the first person I’ve seen say this coherently, so for that, kudos.
