Thanks. No class revolt would pick up all of the people in the working the class. However you are right i you are saying that many blue collar voters are still with the Democratic party. There has been a steady leakage of that support, to the point that the support for the two parties has completely flipped. The poorest counties went for Trump, the wealthiest counties went for Harris. That is remarkable, and it is a sign of what could be called a "class revolt."
