Fine, I've answered this one elsewhere, below.

Right. Well, I have researched this quite extensively over the years. I 
was perhaps a bit unclear, agreed.

What I meant to say was that the "elites" as defined by most people in the 
US, are more the well educated class, upper income class, yes sure, but 
also those financial elites that have nothing whatsoever in common with 
the working classes, but some of which now have made the true working 
class in America, believe they do. The true fact is the opposite, all of 
the financial elites are actually doing whatever they can to hold back the 
working class. But that's different, and long story.

Also, Trump has, in recent years, been the foremost and most successful 
voice to make this working class believe otherwise. His "working class 
support" is the single biggest charade, yes fraud if you will, that I've 
ever - ever - seen in US politics. Purported through mostly his racial 
stands, no doubt. That's where he knew he would get their support - and 
that he did, and still does, probably.

Critical race theory? Do you mind expand a little on this?

Not a chance. Everything I know as a economist tells me otherwise.

And the tax cuts, yes I did say that 90% got nothing, and that what the 
statistics show.

You should be a bit more careful than assuming that I am in some way 
giving the D's a free ride on every issue. I don't.

In my, yes it is earth shattering. But the reason not those you refer to. 
The Republicans (as defined by the GOP) what are they, as of today. 
Platform, politics, etc. They are simply not recognizable - not even to 
quite a large chuck of ex-GOP's.

Because of the racism, because of their questionable support for US 
democracy, as we've all witnessed lately. Instead we see complete no 
nothing imbeciles getting elected to Congress, very dangerous people who 
the GOP leaders don't dare touch, but instead goes down to Mar a Lago to 
get instructions. The GOP is in some sort of shambles and GOD only knows 
how that will end.

We'll see about that.
