3. Reagan won those blue collar Dems using racism and misogyny
The blue collar Dems who voted for Reagan were social conservatives -- Catholics and right wing Christians -- who supported FDR's and LBJ's economic policies but not the social policies of civil rights for blacks, women and gays. They are best characterized by the TV sitcom character "Archie Bunker".
