The article showed data that low income (>30,000 to 49,000) voters tend to support Democrats, while middle class and upper middle class income ($50,000-$200,000+) voted Republican. The left tends to dwell in medicaid and social programs will the increase budget and spending. The middle class is effected the greatest from higher taxes to support these programs. Asth gap between the middle class and the rich spreads out, the middle class could fall into lower income and not live as lavishly with higher taxes and more regulations on businesses. There are basic economic royalties and principles. These concerns of economic lead to movements such the Tea Party movement which can see a resemblance in the social issue movement of the Resistance towards Trumps Presidency.

As Trump takes on the mantle from Obama, he inherits the left movement that Obama founded and help grow in the country. Obama increased the deficit,, but also lower unemployment and created a controversial Affordable Care Act. . The Resistance will encourage more participation with social media and technological differences between the beginning of the Obama Administration to now. The 2018 midterm will call more participation in younger voters than previous midterms.

With the ideology so f the tea party of safer borders, lower taxes, and less worry of a government, no wonder the 2010 election people came out in herds.
