Actually if you look at the demographics, Democrats win the lower economic classes by a lot and then lose out as income increases.

People who make a lot of money usually have pride in their neighborhoods and don't want to burn them down.

Well? Comment?

You want to harp on education, well, here you go, your Democrat voting block of blacks have the least educational attainment of any demographic group in the US. Additionally, they are the highest per capita, by far, violent demographic, and have the highest per capita hate crime offenses. They do not believe in science, hence why they have been impacted the hardest by things like COVID-19. They fully believe in guns because they use them the most in conduct of their violence, with them leading the way in gun violence.

Income based on party affiliation breaks down into several variables. The state a voter resides, marital status , education level and on and on.

Suggesting flatly that one party earns more than the other is overly simple and like I pointed out, not entirely accurate.

“A reasonable objection to the General Theory of Wages and Voting is this: If rich people are more likely to vote Republican, how come so many rich states -- California and the northeast, for example -- always vote Democrat, while some of the poorest states vote Republican?

Once answer is that income matters more for voter preferences in Red America than in Blue America. "In poor states, rich people are much more likely than poor people to vote for the Republican presidential candidate," political scientist Andrew Gelman found, "but in rich states (such as Connecticut), income has a very low correlation with vote preference."

Define ‘educated’. Not all degrees are equal.

Blue states are full of blacks and Hispanics and not many of them can read.

The stats disprove that. Democrat voters outnumber Republican voters by more than 2 to 1 on public assistance program rolls. For example, Food Stamps:

At the end of the day, the right is for ONE Group of people. Their rich executive buddies and each hand washes the others back . If they can pick up some votes from Gun-Toting hillbillies they will. Other people far more intelligent than I have already explained the FACTS. The party is dying because they aren't many angry, rich white old timers left. Ive said it before. Trump may be the last corporate right winger this country ever sees. People are fed up with the continuous widening the wealth gap and death of the middle class and policies that only benefit the 1 percent.

Its a party of rich people desperately clinging on to keep the all the wealth. Well the pendulum swings. Whether you want to agree or not, this is the REALITY of things that won't be changed any time soon. The country should be for everyone. Not the 1 percent

Nope, it's accurate. And easily corroborated by looking at related data like public assistance enrollment. Read my prior post.
