16. for the straight white working class male

yes

They hate that, They mostly align with the GOP opinion on LGBTQ and women too.

Problem is that we have mostly moved on from that... leaving these used to be union members, reliable democrats, behind over these social issues. I do not see us adopting those opinions they hold on these subjects... and I don't see that changing much given the under 30 white male ( Joe Rogan misogynists ) mostly incels.

Perhaps when their unions are gone and they are working for wages that used to belong to illegal immigrants, the financial issues will overcome their anti-woke bullshit.

For now, I don't know how to fix this for Democrats.
