Maybe half of all Americans are perfectly capable of finding themselves in one political party or another. Another half finds politics simply not for them and bravely say they are "Independents." But the two major parties do have certain characteristics that neither would embrace publicly as a defining member. For Republicans that would include businessmen (typically management or wanna be management,) the wealthy (the more money you have the more likely you are to vote Republican,) and the less educated. For Democrats that would include persons of persecuted minorities (non-persecuted minorities who succeed and get rich vote Republican,) labor groups, higher educated, and the less educated. (if you had a thousand people with less education how else would they divide but right down the middle? It's not like they could make an educated decision) Some people put the members of the military in the Democratic column, but that is probably only true of the rank and file and not the higher-ups. Others say there is no difference in this population from the civilian population.
Democrats. The reason being is that the democratic party supports farm subsidies worth millions of dollars. The farmers (naturally) vote for the Democrats because they want to keep the subsidies. The farmers stay rich because of these subsidies that they get each year. Farming subsidies started in the 1930's Great Depression era by FDR. They were supposed to keep the farmers from starving to death in a time when there was little commercially available food. Nowadays, farmers just milk the system. Source: lived in a rural community in Kentucky for 5 years and all of the farmers voted Democrat.
The direct object of the verb 'plant' is crops(farmers plant crops).

In a way it did. The dissolution of the Whigs created a political vacuum that enabled the new Republican Party to gain power. It essentially comprised many of the same (or similar) people that had once belonged to the Whig Party. The Republican party was formed by former Whigs, by abolitionists, free-soilers, frontiersmen, farmers from the middle west, businessmen, common workers, industrialists, merchants from the eastern States and New England. The Republican Party formed around 1854; Abraham Lincoln became their first elected President in 1860.

The Populist Party appealed strongly to farmers who were deep in debt and felt betrayed by the traditional political parties. It proposed a progressive income tax and would allow the free coinage of silver which appealed to many others.
Farmers lost their independence to shoe keepers and merchants because they only had one role. Merchants were capable of expanding and shoe keepers were in demand.
It was traders, merchants and farmers.
The four social classes of china were the shi, the Nong, the gong and the Shang. The shi were low-level aristocrats, the Nong were the farmers, the gong were the artisans and craftsman and the Shang were the merchants.
In my view, the industrialists feared that coinage of silver would increase the money supply and thereby lower interest rates to the benefit of the debtors, such as farmers, and the detriment of the creditors, such as the industrialists.
