the top percent of Americas wealth consistently vote Republican. Why would they vote Republican if they’re the party of the working class and not the elites

How much has the working class personally and directly benefited from specifically Republican policy in the last 3 decades? And what is the proportion of that benefit compared to the upper and wealthy classes?

Yes. Tax cuts for workers. You pay much less in red states. There’s a lot of trade protections because of Republicans that protect American workers.

This may be true however- is there a reliable source you could use? Wikipedia is editable…

Do you know how rigorous the Wikipedia fact checking is?

It’s not peer-reviewed or anything, and doesn’t come from a reliable government or any actual credible source… doesn’t matter if the fact checking is rigorous.

I don’t know if this is true or not, but apparently .org sites can be biased too because any company can buy an organization and have them write out what they want, really all we can go off of is multiple sources that confirm the same thing or .gov or some peer reviewed article

Yes they can be biased but you can always check if the site is biased or not. The one I linked is nonpartisan and unbiased :)
