No, it's not new. The Democratic party and their talking heads have been chasing conservative white voters for well over 30 years. The only difference is that the spin shifted from "middle class" to "working class" to reflect the overall downward mobility of u.s. society as a whole.
The Dem Party has always missed their pre-1960s days when their party included Southern Democrats, the rabid white racists and segregationists who migrated to the GOP after that decade.

Seeing Dems chase after white working class voters and uplifting and centering white males, as racist patriarchy always has, tells me that they haven't changed much during my lifetime. None of this is new. Both parties chase white male power. It's just that the GOP is far, far better at it.
