When, under Democratic control, a man could work 40 hours a week and support a family. He could join a union. He didn't need an assault rifle to feel safe. He was protected against corporate bankruptcy taking his pension. His job provided him with health insurance, paid sick leave and paid time off. Most of those have been taken away over the last 40-50 years with both parties in control. There are other things, we the working class have lost, that escape me at this moment but that should be enough.
Hopefully this will help you understand where I am coming from.
