Sensational article! This quote pretty much sums u why Trump was elected the first time. White people want to preserve their privileged positions. And along with that, many love feeling emboldened to be openly racist, misogynistic, homophobic, and xenophobic. In fact, many of them were raised by - or their grandparents are - the people who oppressed, terrorized, lynched, and made our ancestors' lives a living hell. The hate keeps getting passed down generation to generation. While I have some hope for this election, I would not be surprised if the 45th becomes the 47th. Not surprised at all.
