Hi koan; Re: "Trump is turning on the workers now.";

The working class voters I know are exceedingly happy with what Trump is doing. The ones that voted for him are very happy with the fact that they did; the others trying to get their voting rights restored. They're over-joyed about stuff like the Carrier deal and the Ford announcement. He looks to be a more effective version of Reagan; that is, he picks up the working class while actually bringing more jobs.

It's obvious that Trump is going to keep doing the same things as President as he promised those working class voters. It's pretty easy to expect that they will be very happy with him when the 2018 elections come up and they will give the Republicans a super majority in the Senate. And probably take back a lot of seats in the House. Meanwhile, the Republicans picked up more state politicians and it appears highly likely that they will be in control of the next reapportionment.

With each passing year the climate story gets older and, with the world producing record grain harvests and the deserts turning greener, the story is harder to believe. And the climate story is directly in contradiction to what working class voters want (jobs). So Trump is going to keep pushing jobs and this will be at the expense of EPA and CO2 crap. What's more, this will undoubtedly improve the job situation. A certain amount of that is just recovery from an economy that had grown way too good for the upper classes and way to bad for the working classes but voters won't have any explanation other than that Trump fixed the economy for them.

You could be looking at two decades before the Democrats recover. If ever. You could see them being replaced by a weak Socialist / Green party that never gets elected to anything outside of California, LOL.
