"Dems are becoming the over educated, smug rich people’s party while the Republicans are some how making gains with non-college educated to the point they picked up plenty of working class voters this time around"
Problematic take. The data doesn't quite give credence to that. Not because Dems wouldn't be smug and such, but because it lacks specificity in the analysis. To see what happened you ought to look into working clear people and the less educated groups and see that there are a lot of heterogeneous behaviors. Most of the 'gains' can be accounted for by turnout. Sure people voting is picking up people, but the focus on half baked analysis of just two polls and two axis will not be materially enough.
The sentiment of your post and the rest I am close with you.
