Looks like this is the end of America's white christian experiment , what we are seeing are their death throes (Definition of death throes. : the violent movements and noises that are sometimes made by a person who is about to die The opera ends with the hero in his death throes) For the majority of the white electorate, it’s clear that the idea of “losing America” is the driving force for this new grievance. Unlike Black people who have been limited in responses to racial oppression by the lack of sheer numbers and resources, white people have not had those constraints. The sense of a collective cultural ownership whites have developed through a partially false but uplifting historical narrative of controlling one’s individual fate makes being “led” or outnumbered by others an inconceivable outcome for the majority of white Americans. Their solution? Let’s take the county back a few decades. The 1950s is not far enough. Instead, we seem to be entering a period reminiscent of the 1920s, a time when the Klan marched openly in D.C with over 40,000 participants, according to the New York Times, their biggest demonstration ever, with over 200,000 onlookers. The reason for the march was to show support for a proposed law to restrict immigration based on origin and race. http://atlantablackstar.com/2017/03/28/beginning-end-american-project/
Trump is to take America back to it's roots of individual freedom, liberty, prosperity, constitutionalism, and capitalism.. Conservatism.. No more socialist state, no more identity politics, no more political correctness, back to reality..
Those would be the roots that said only white male property owners had the vote. Not the most enlightened era in our history.
