   And all the republicans will still vote red for the lying, cheating, grifting man.

      People tend to vote with their wallets in mind more than anything. I think that's why it ping ponged(inflation), and why they're getting destroyed in the midterm polling. The next president will likely have a D next to their name(more inflation).

         Trump himself only happened because Ds abandoned the working class for grievance politics circa 2010 — forming “public private partnerships” to tear open old wounds while screwing the working class on behalf of corporations.

            You're a couple decades late there, it was Clinton and the Third Way(tm) Democrats that abandoned blue collar workers.
