    People are downvoting this story because they don’t want to hear the reality. And ignoring that reality only makes things worse.

    This is how you get Trump 2.0.

    So face the truth, or be prepared for Donald to destroy American democracy.

    Democrats have been alienating regular white working-class folks for years now. They love to be race baited on issues and almost without fail, have had a pro-Black stance on far too many issues as if Black’s are the only ones hurting these days. Concentrate on economic class, instead of race. Or else you will be dividing the country more than unifing it. A black coal miner in Appalachia is no better or no worse off than his white coal mining neighbor, and yet the left and many centrists are fine with bullshit race-based programs instead of ones that eliminate race from the discussion altogether and simply look at need.

    This story is also tied in with other recent news on how young white males are joining right wing groups at alarming rates. This is a very real problem that should scare people enough to reevaluate some of the policies thag are creating this problem. You can’t continue to use white males as all of society’s and constantly oush them away ans think there won’t be a blowback from that.
