He has a point.
Republican voters are generally low income, blue collar types. Not ones that can afford to live on a gated community.
In general. There are of course exceptions. I believe Vince McMahon is a red voter, and he's certainly rich.
Originally posted by SurturI live in a gated community here and my villa in Egypt is also in a gate community behind a hotel by the sea. I hardly get to visit it though and intend to sell it. My flats in the uk are rented by people and I live in a stationary caravan in the uk near hastings. 🙂
Yes hypocritical lefties crying about walls do tend to live in gated communities.

That is a common misconception actually. Republican voters tend to be richer than Democrat voters. That was also the case for the 2016 presidential election.
IncomeFinancially, Republicans fare better than either Democrats or Independents, and tend to identify themselves as such. Republican candidates gain a significantly higher percentage of votes from individuals with incomes over $50,000 per year, and the advantage increases along with the income level, to a height of 63 percent of individuals earning $200,000 or more a year supporting Republicans. This level is the direct inverse of individuals earning less than $15,000 a year, who support Democrats at 63 percent and Republicans at only 36 percent.

I didn't dig into the details but is this an average as instead of a median income? The ultra rich really really throw off those numbers if you use averages.
For example, I created a table on top billionaire donations to parties. Democrats get more donations from the ultra rich:
Contrary to popular reddit belief, the Democrats are warmongerers and corporate shills. The "social" issues they cause the little people to fight over are irrelevant - the GOP and the Dems are the same party.
