Many blue collars are far more intelligent than any white collars you will ever meet in your life.
Many blue collar jobs involves knowledge of how things work, and having very in depth understandings of it. While white collars can be seen as managers, paper pushers, and people who aren't capable of understanding anything beyond a surface level.
The people who have these views, and see things like this, will end up with the intelligent ones turning blue, while the less intelligent turn white. Again, if they have these views, not all people do.
As for the divide seeming to grow - There was recently a recession. Now there's record employment. Left/right, blue/white - Both sides have differing ideas of how things should be done.
Normally no one cared too much which path we went down. Things might be a little bit better or a little worse, but it didn't really seem to matter. But now we've seen how good and bad it can be. And this has resulted in all types of divides intensifying. So all sides are pushing extra hard because everyone knows how good and bad things can get.
