Reagan Democrats literally have no relevance to politics these day, as they have already gone extinct, or been standard conservative Republicans. He's support is centered in little dixie and previous democratic areas, or right-wing blue collar voters. His support is strongest in where Obama had the biggest swing away from him, as well as from conservative dixiecrats. These voters, are not necessarily Regan-esque, free-market, capitalist conservative, but conservative in the sense of law and order (Nixonian), as well as cultural conservatism, as the concept of Americana, and religious, Catholic or Protestant as a way of tradition, rather than actually Trump's supporters being that religious. This is the case in Oklahoma, and the south, in where Dixiecrat, former democrats, McCain Democrats are voting for Trump, as well as Irish-Americans in the NE and NYC or more conservative but still at least in name, democratic Catholics, that are being apealled by TRUMP and republicans for the first time.
