The middle income that still vote D out of blind obedience or virtue signaling are more likely to finally wake up when they realize they were led to. A certain percentage will cling to the illusion due to frail ego. But when they are forced to sell their home in the suburbs because they can no longer afford a car to get to work, they will be in for a rude awakening.
City Dwellers are already lost. They believe that everyone must be forced by gov't to surrender liberty for the "promise" of gov't doing things for them that they should be doing for for themselves. They believe that because they pay 50-70% of take home for housing, everyone should. Small price to pay for having such great gov't services in places like NYC. And all museums and theaters that they can't afford to go to after paying rent.

I think you're over estimating the impact.
The problem is that the Democrat platform isn't monolithic, just like the Republican platform isn't.
These people WILL continue to vote democrat because of other aspects of their political platform.
Few people vote one way or another based on singular issues.
There are huge swaths who vote the way they do because of any number of other issues which have little, if anything, to do with this.
Abortion, taxes, jobs, foreign policy, military, local politics, state politics, national politics, race, police, gender politics, you name it.
"They want to take away my private vehicle, but that's OK because I care more about (my right to abortion) (voting Trump out of office) (raising taxes on the rich) (social welfare spending).
Everybody does this because it's human nature.
SOME will be upset by this, to be sure. A few of them will, in fact, vote against it. But NOT in mass droves.
