The failure for Democrats has been to convert those 80 hours/wk and poor economic conditions to support.

Trump can increase inequality and make wealthy people wealthier, but says he's doing good for poor people. If things get better, it's because of him. If things get worse, it's because of someone else.

Ergo, poor people support him.

I'm not sure "failure for Democrats" is the right way to frame it, because the system is working as intended, and the Democrats are responding to the lobbyists rather than the people, same as Republicans.

Your choices are the party of billionaires, or the party of billionaires except we don't hate gay people quite as much.
