Blue-collar voters were once the foundation of the Democratic party but things have changed, according to The Western Journal.
The Democratic party has now been labeled the wealthy party.
Studies show that 65% of taxpayers with a household income of $500,000 are Democratic.
74% of taxpayers in republican districts make less than $100,000.
In 1992 data showed that a Republican district was 14% richer than the typical Democratic district.
In 2020 data revealed that 85% of counties with a Whole Foods store voted for Joe Biden over Donald Trump.
"The places with the largest concentrations of wealth," Vox said, "are now disproportionately represented by Democrats. In 2014, 17 of the 25 wealthiest congressional districts … were represented by Democrats. And overall, the median household income in Democratic-represented congressional districts was about $2,000 more than the median household income in Republican-represented districts."
America "has increasingly concentrated in a handful of metropolises. … Most of these very prosperous cities (especially New York, San Francisco, Boston, and Los Angeles) have become very solidly Democratic."
