Summary
White male anger has repeatedly destabilized U.S. democracy, from defending slavery in the 18th century to opposing civil rights during the Cold War.
Today, this anger fuels support for Donald Trump, despite his authoritarian threats, legal troubles, and agenda that could harm the U.S. economy and global standing.
Trump’s appeal among white men reflects resistance to a multi-racial democracy, echoing past patterns where white supremacy was prioritized over national stability.
This anger now threatens to undermine the American democratic project once again.
Oh good. I’m sure glad the author took a step back to consider the voting demographics of the latest election instead of using a sexist and racist argument.
How useful.
It was white men and women who elected Trump, not really an inaccurate headline.
