It is a split between Democratic voters, Republican voters, AND, those who don't vote. This is as true of the working class category as it is of all other categories.
I think that the only way to break through the propaganda bubble that has poisoned the working class for decades is a major trauma, like a deep recession. So the reich-wing propagandized working class are not going to swing suddenly to vote Democratic no matter what the Democratic party does.
BUT. The non-voters in the working class maybe reachable. And there are a lot of them, 20-25%. Enough to swing the working class demographic in most of the US.
Is it possible to deprogram White national evangelicals? Yes, but that is exactly what it is, deprogramming, a long and intensive process. Possible and worth it if the person is your friend or relative, but not really workable on a mass scale.
Education and motivation of the apathetic non-voters is much more practical.
