Yes, the GOP is beating them at that game now. Working-Class White has transformed into the single largest political identity of them all.
You mean the Southern Strategy?
It has expanded to rural white voters across this country, not just the South.
Yeah, not like Republicans ever won rural Whites in the North before now or the Southern Strategy!!
That's beyond the point, what's pertinent is that rural whites have coalesced into a national political group with consistent political identity traits that carry across regional lines, and they are overwhelmingly voting for Republicans, hence why Democrats need to shift strategy since Republicans now have the single largest identity group under their possession.
