It's an interesting idea that republicans are white supremacists and democrats are poor black workers. There certainly seems to be a wealth divide between supporters of each party and, in your country (I'll assume USA) this has also taken in a divide on the colour of skin (for reasons that could fill ten books).
It happens where I live too (to a lesser extent on skin colour, although that happens) but more on class. To transpose your post to my country, it would imply that I'm a class traitor if I voted Conservative. And where I come from, that really is the case, yes. I have to admit, I'm so steeped in it that it would cross my mind to judge someone from either of our backgrounds voting Republican/Conservative.
I'm not sure it's right but at least we're honest about it.
Oh, of course. If I say one group are traditionally poorer, I don't mean every single member of the group is poorer than the poorest member of another group. That only works with small numbers.
There are poor conservatives here too. I know most people don't vote for an ideology and just vote for whatever is most profitable so in some ways poor conservatives and rich people with left-wing ideologies should be lauded, but it feels kind of odd, doesn't it?
Is it normal that I think black conservatives are race traitors?

There are plenty of poor conservatives. I say they are just screwing themselves.
