Other than the most lunatic fringe fundies, at the rate the working class is getting marginalized, and how many of them are....and how obvious it is, I can't see stupid social non-issues or identity politics bullshit being able to hold sway enough for working class types to vote against their interest much longer. We are fighting inertia, but that can work in out favor as the pendulum reverses direction.
