Okay, so you state two reasons why the working class is leaving the left:

1) Economic anxiety, and;
2) Political correctness/identity politics

So, what's the solution for #1? Most left-leaning politicians and parties tend to argue that taxes for the middle class and poor should be lowered while taxes for the wealthy should be increased. Most left-leaning types argue that social safety nets should be in place for those displaced by automation or other economic circumstances. They also argue that, at least in the case of the US, healthcare should be universal and a trip to the ER shouldn't bankrupt a family.

What solutions are right-leaning types offering for this economic anxiety? If anything, it's the stuff that doesn't actually help those suffering from it. Instead, they wrap their programs with lies and tell the gullible that it's actually good for them when it's not.

Regarding #2:

The argument that political correctness is running amok has been overstated. Every case is reported in the media like it's a plague. If each case of campus rape was reported in the media like it is for campus censorship there would be a massive outcry. Yes, censorship happens and it usually sucks. So what is okay censorship? Is the "N" word okay to say? Not in most circles. We censor ourselves. The loudest cry against political correctness and censorship is usually by those that have 'deplorable' things to say.

Additionally, I don't buy the "identity politics" is driving people to the political right. The right uses identity politics just as much, if not more, than the left. The argument of identity politics just ends up being a convenient excuse to say and do stupid stuff.

So, you've presented two points of view as to why the WHITE working class is leaving the left. Both of which are, as New Era stated, mostly due to "stupidity and lack of self-awareness". You seem to beat this drum fairly regularly. What are you suggesting for a solution? Or to put it more crudely: what's your point?
