The strength of the Trump Party is white men.

The GOP's core has always been white men AND... White men make up a bit less than 25% of America.

So no. A huge chunk of the 75% are NOT upper class white men, since white men were specifically the fraction of the population I stripped out to arrive at the "other 75%"

It's true a small part of that 75% are upper class white women tho.

So what I am saying is that anyone is welcome in the Democratic Party, but the most reliable and dynamic group here are POC of both genders and women of all races. And that fact is why bending over backwards trying to attract Trumpsters is offensive as well as ineffective
