Without consistent, demonstrated antiracist practice, the cycle of bigotry disguised as strength will continue to destroy not only the vulnerable that you target, but you too.

"Overall, the pattern is unambiguous: most white Christians – along with groups in which they constitute a majority, like the Tea Party – believe that America is on a downhill slide, while strong majorities of most other groups in the country say things are improving” (p. 87)."
But it's about the economy — always. It's NEVER about race and gender, racism and misogyny. It's about the price of eggs.

"Meanwhile, approximately six in ten Hispanic Catholics (59 percent) say the opposite – that American culture has changed for the better. Approximately six in ten (63 percent) religiously unaffiliated Americans also say American culture and way of life has changed for the better since the mid-twentieth century, as do majorities of African American Protestants (55 percent)."

"More than seven in ten (72) percent white evangelical Protestants and nearly six in ten (58 percent) white mainline Protestants say American culture and way of life has changed for the worse since the 1950s. Roughly six in ten white Catholics (58 percent) agree with their fellow white Christians that American culture has changed for the worse since the 1950s."

“The question of whether American culture has gone downhill since the 1950s divides Americans overall, with a majority (53 percent) saying it has changed mostly for the worse, compared to 46 percent who say it has changed mostly for the better. But we can see stark cleavages by race and religion."

But it's about the economy — always. It's always about the price of eggs:
In his book The End of White Christian America, Robert P. Jones notes (pp. 86-7) that Public Religion Research Institute surveyed Americans in 2015 to ask, “Since the 1950s, do you think American culture and way of life has mostly changed for the better, or has it mostly changed for the worse?”

"You want to know why Trump has a decent chance to win the presidency again? Because most white Americans support him. In the latest New York Times/Siena poll, Trump wins white voters by 52 percent to 44 percent."

"There’s a reason Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, are so busy (and intentionally) stoking racial resentments, and it isn’t because they feel good about the current state of the race. Depressingly, it may even be working. A year ago, Trump was 7 points underwater among white voters. He’s now 5 points above with them.
White people are keeping Trump in the game."

"In 2016, Donald Trump won the white vote 57% to Hillary Clinton’s 37%, including white women 52% to 43%. (Who can forget, 'I want a woman president, just not this one...')
In 2020, Donald Trump won the white vote 58% to Joe Biden’s 41%, including white women 55% to 44%. Trump actually did better with white voters in this election despite the Democratic nominee being a boring old white guy."

"Lots of people have pointed out that elections are not usually about which policies the voter thinks will make stuff better for them or the country, and more which candidate they identify with. They identify with Trump, and pointing out his increasingly irrational speeches or his shitty policies will not help, especially not when you are asking them to accept Harris. It is really the whining, I think, that matters most."

A TPM reader in western Pennsylvania tells Josh Marshall why he's not hopeful about the election:
"I also don’t think there is anything Harris can do to win them over. What they really like about Trump is his sense of grievance, and his whining. They don’t want policies to bring back the golden days when coal miners all had a gold plated Rolls Royce."

"One would think that if anything would dampen the enthusiasm among members of a political party that once embraced law and order and the criminal justice system as core to its identity, it would be that criminal justice system rendering 34 guilty verdicts. But that has not been the case."
-
"Democrats need to realize that if Donald Trump’s felony conviction won’t weaken his support among most white voters, then nothing will. …
White rage has always been the rocket fuel powering Trump’s ascendance and continued political relevance."

"Unfortunately, while rural Americans could use the power they possess to improve their lives, they almost never do. That power is used only to maintain Republican control and stymie liberal policy advancement, even when liberal policy goals would directly help rural people themselves. …
In fact, as the rural population shrinks, their extraordinary leverage becomes even more stark."
-
"I want to focus on an aspect of that story that makes the United States unique: Only here are rural citizens given such outsized political power. That power is built into the design of our political system, but it also has to be continually renewed by the Republicans who depend on rural voters to maintain their control of political institutions."
