Yup. It's not a coincidence that the groups motivated by white racial anxiety have become increasingly skeptical of democracy and increasingly tolerant of authoritarianism. They know that as time moves on, white people make up less and less of the electorate- which means democracy will no longer guarantee them a controlling stake in the country, as it were.
We've seen it play out in the voter suppression efforts that have targeted minority voters.
We've seen it play out in the ruthless gerrymandering that has entrenched minority rule.
And we are seeing it in the way they are so quick to dismiss Trump's anti-democratic behaviors- appreciating the fact that he calls for the jailing of US citizens, attacks the Free press, attacks law enforcement agencies that he can't control, etc.
And we see it in the way they embrace Putin- one of the world's most notorious dictators.
It's really disheartening to watch, and it's this kind of sentiment that opens the door for some really dangerous changes.
What are your thoughts on this then? You seem to have no problem with racism when it's done by people you agree with politically. And we all know why.
