Many of the people in your stats simultaneously hold other conservative or centrist values that both parties supported 15 years ago, like being strict on illegal immigration, crime, and late-term abortion. A large number are proud gun owners. Many union workers who like tariffs are now finding that the mainstream left has abandoned such policies in favor of soft negotiating stances on free trade deals. Remember the anti-globalism Seattle WTO protests? It wasn't conservatives doing the marching. For their variance from the new zeitgeist they are currently being labeled racists, sexists, etc. Would you stay consistent with your argument, call them liberal, and accept them knowing that? Not many do, especially not liberal politicians and media, which is why they are voting the other way. They didn't leave their values behind, the liberal party did.
