    We want to nip these trends in the bud.

    When undeserving minorities are running things, those things will fall apart. Who is going to get blamed? White people.

    You can see it on college campuses today. AA Minorities get accepted. They do poorly because they can't keep up with the Whites and Asians. Pretty soon they are marching about bellowing with bull horns about how racist those colleges are.

    You are welcome.

    But it looks like most White people are closer to the OP than to your opinions.

    can you explain this "brighter future" and how liberal policies (that usually don't even benefit America) are gonna make this happen? Convert me!

    Good people lose their second amendment rights even though they never committed a crime. You left that one unanswered in another thread.

    I was speaking of male victims of abuse who get arrested and treated like criminals.

    Those who have neither been abused nor have researched the subject do not understand much on the issue. I was not abused, but I did study the subject.

    In UK no one has Second Amendment rights except Military and some high ranking people in Law Enforcement. They have much less murder and suicide then USA.

    Who is to say they are undeserving? You worry too much.

    Why was that last sentence was necessary? Is it an attempt to make me feel bad, or what?

    I'm used to being in the minority. I wasn't trying to deny that. My first presidential election was 1972, when Nixon trounced McGovern, leaving him two states and a mere 17 EC votes. That was being "on the losing side"! The world didn't come to an end, even with the Watergate scandal that followed that election, and I haven't changed my views very much since then. I didn't cry about it, didn't demand recounts, didn't harrangue people with conspiracy theories or woeful tales of voter fraud. Loss has to be accepted, because someone loses every contest. The Trump supporters here could take a lesson.

    I agree with some of your comments - except for the Christian's part of it - and conservatives in general.

    Definitely some of that going on against white males.

    I am not suggesting we force gun rights on the UK. Here in the US, we have the right to bear arms. Other countries have strict gun laws and have significantly higher rates of murder and suicide. I gave you an example and you never responded. Why should cash and politicians be worthy of armed security, but not women and children?

    I was bringing the discussion back to your original assertion that most Whites are comfortable with Critical Race Theory. The point is not to make you feel bad but to help you understand the world as it really is. Trumpism is not an abberation , but a phenomenon that is international in scope.

    I never used that term or made that claim, but okay, let's start with that. Most white Americans aren't even aware of the concept. I had to look it up myself, amd I'm not a lightweight where reading and research in political terms is concerned. You say most whites aren't comfortable with it, so I would have to ask: why do you think that is?

    And while I realize that Trump didn't rise in a vacuum, my hope is that we can someday thank him for showing us where our biggest divisive issues lie, and maybe we can work towards less fear and better understanding, in a systemic way and not just individual by individual. He's also shown us that the "honor system" that the founders relied upon between men of honor in those days creeped into the constitution they gave us, and there are gaping holes that men without honor, like Trump and many of the people he has put in important positions, can crawl through and wreak havok in places like our justice system.

    Polls indicate that ost Whites don't believe in White Privilege

    I suspect that most Whites resent the demands placed on them by woke culture. They do not want to be forced to affirm an ideology they don't believe.

    A very influential text on the right is Vaclav Havel's essay The Power of the Powerless

    In our time Black Lives Matter replaces Workers of the World Unite!

    https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/jk-rowling-havel-greengrocer-transgender/

    Consider the humiliation of Jimmy Kimmel





    Tearing down statues of Thomas Jefferson and George Washington don't seem conducive to less fear and better understanding.

    The "majority group" in the U.S. are women.

    The OP clearly lists "small business owners, conservatives, straight, white “cis-males,” Christians, the middle class, firearm owners, traditionalists, those inhabiting flyover country, and Trump supporters."

    Call it however you want to but it is clearly categorizing white males.
