White rage got us here. While the economic anxiety of Trump supporters is often touted as the driving force behind the mogul’s electoral college victory, that rationale is just a ruse, a clever red herring. The median income of a Trump supporter is more than $70,000 per year, which is well above the national average, and a 2016 study noted that it would take African Americans 228 years to equal the wealth of whites in the U.S. Clearly, Trump’s pathway into the Oval Office is not really about white economic angst. Rather, Barack Obama’s election — and its powerful symbolism of black advancement — was the major trigger for the policy backlash that led to Donald Trump, and which has now put America’s national security at risk.
Sadly true, and the real reason McConnell blocked his Supreme Court nominee
Brilliant "us against them" propaganda piece. Oh no, the mind numbing rise in inequality that has left the average American in the dust for 50 years while the rich got ever richer isn't the problem, it's racist white people! The "put america's national security at risk" is pretty much a neon sign that says this is a propaganda piece.
@altschmerz Absolutely.
Yep. I’ve said that - Trump is the response of angry white Americans to having a black man in the White House.
