Barack Obama kept organized labor and environmentalists voting Democratic as long as he was waffling on the Keystone Pipeline. Once he came down on the side of the environmentalists on that issue, some of the labor folks wanted to fight back, and voting for Trump was a way to do that.
If we campaign heavily on the Green New Deal, we can expect them to vote accordingly.
