You have it mostly backwards.  The Republicans have always been the party of the elite, of the robber barons.  Back in the progressive era, the unions were at their peak, and there was enough lack of labor that the corporations had to offer significant benefits.  In the conservative era, jobs were sent abroad, automation cut jobs, union laws were weakened, and benefits were eliminated by a lot of jobs being made part time.  All this was done mostly by conservatives working through the Republican Party for the advantage of the elites and corporations.  This resulted among other things in the tremendous division of wealth.

Yes, yes, yes, the Republicans are the bad guys and the Democrats are the good guys and that's the way it's been and will always be in your opinion. One can assume that your partisan view will never change. Lets see, the Democrats have completely lost the support of half the country right now.Plus, there is a portion of the country that no longer identifies with the Democratic party and see's it as being no better than the Democratic party. Do you understand this? Do you understand the negative impact that reality is going to eventually have on the liberal/Democratic side down the road? I assume that you have way more wealth than the typical welfare recipient. Is that a problem for you or me? It's not a problem for me or us for that matter. I assume that you have way more wealth than the illegal immigrant or the poor refuge does or the illegal immigrants kid or their American born kid too. Is that my problem or more your problem these days too. Why is Trump doing what some conservative Democrat should have been doing instead of a liberal Democrat who was elected to do the opposite and maintain the elitist status quo and why are liberal Democrats so pissed that we are rejecting them and basically slitting their throats politically.
