No, they didn’t. The white working class only thinks that the Dems abandoned them because they think that not-abandoning them requires abandoning everyone but them.

Fine. You know what? I’m a democrat. I’ll give “dude” a basic income to maintain some dignity. You know who won’t? The Republicans. You can’t hitch your star to the party of “creative destruction” and then expect that they won’t be just fine if you are collateral damage.
