3. I don't get it. Democratic voters are working class, have lower incomes than Republican voters.

Obviously it's clear which side both parties are on. What's he talking about?

He says Republicans don't do anything for red state people, but they blame Democrats: "We don't believe you, we don't trust you, you're not fighting for us." Doesn't make any sense.
