Ah, this is a remarkable moment when North Korea accuses the United States of lying and the rest of the world knows perfectly well that the North Korean side is the one that's telling the truth:

“The Republican Party has changed,” said A. Patrice Burgess, a 55-year-old Boise family physician. The lifelong Republican voted for Democrats in the past two presidential elections in part because she didn’t want the ACA dismantled, and because Mr. Trump’s behavior appalled her.

Research led by Adam Bonica, associate political science professor at Stanford University, shows that younger male and female physicians are significantly more liberal than older ones, a divide that is generational and not simply a function of partisanship changing as doctors age.

“Manufacturing moved to where the Republican Party has been building strength,” says Jonathan Rodden, a Stanford University political scientist, who studies the geography of political change.

Other manufacturing areas have flipped to vote for Republicans. In 1992, there were 860 counties where at least 25% of the working population was employed in manufacturing. Democrat Bill Clinton won 49% of those counties. By 2016, manufacturers employed at least a quarter of the workforce in only 320 counties. Ninety-five percent of them went for Donald Trump.
