Does he mean its old people? The old people who brought us the welfare state, among other manifestations of "common sense and freedom"? Nobody my age ever voted for Roosevelt, Johnson, or Carter.
Both my mother and mother-in-law are in their 80's and raised as blue collar democrats. It's a total waste of time to discuss politics with them - they've always voted Democratic because he Dems are for the 'little guy'. They think they are still voting for Harry Truman.

I voted for Carter. A more massive wake-up has never been. What a fool I was.
