You're not completely wrong. We're watching the slow-motion transformation of both parties. The Republicans are becoming a working class, multi-racial party while the Democrats are turning into the party of rich, upper-class white people. I'm so old I can remember when Democrats would be standing with the auto workers instead of snuggling up obscenely overpaid, incompetent Detroit executives but that's what they're doing now.

Took two seconds of google to see that US Auto Jobs went down after NAFTA and Mexican auto jobs went up after NAFTA If Democrats successfully passed the Trans Pacific Partnership we would have seen another decline of US Auto jobs and an uptick in Vietnamese or South Korean auto Manafacturing.

Rich upper-class white people are still absolutely a republican demographic, if there's any rich people the democrats woo it's highly educated wealthy people, urban wealthy people, and wealthy people who are minorities of some sort. Whereas your prototypical rich republican is a WASP who owns something like a mining company and lives on a ranch or something. The democrats also notably have a lot of support among the poorest in society, and this base is a LOT of their electorate, so this really shouldn't be overlooked.
