The results of the elections over the past 20 years dispute, nay, contradict your assertion.

Don’t confuse the vitriol of an aging bunch of Boomers longing for the good ol’ Days (of Rage) to be a general resurgence in the entire polity.

The suburban, SUV-driving, kids play sports (to win), politically disinterested until after Labor Day persons exist in far greater numbers that the so-called progressive populists (nee socialists). And they vote moderate-to-right.
