Trump may well be a racist. More troubling, however, is the fact that playing to racial animus is so successful. The Southern strategy has been the Republican Party’s pathway to the presidency since Nixon. Trump is just its most blatant practitioner. Demographics has narrowed the pathway and will eventually close the door, though probably not until 2024 or 2028, so plenty of time for Trump to be reelected.
Not before they install a judiciary that can keep the minority into power. We’re quickly becoming almost an apartheid state; where non-college educated white evangelicals in rural America rule/have the most political power while those on the coast and living In major cities don’t. One vote in Wyoming already counts as much as 6.3 votes in California. Give Mitch, Donald, and Kavanaugh another few years and they’ll find ways to keep the GOP in power for decades. Hell, they’ve already been consolidating power since Clinton.
The senate is a major problem that I’m unsure how to solve.
