Democrats would rather let America slide into dictatorship than actually attack to root of the problem, which is the billionaire class

No. The problem is white people racism. Nothing else can explain the voting patterns since 1964. Black Americans know how to vote, billionaires or not.

* l know you are a professor and l am a nobody, but seeing two cohorts with such stark differences in voting behavior and ignoring the one difference seems myopic. In the US, it’s not class; it’s racism.

I dunno maybe leaving the economy as it is and doubling down on the culture wars might save America but it doesn’t seem to be working so far

From a purely economic perspective Biden administration was good, strong on labor etc. it doesn’t matter. People like Dem policies when asked about them in isolation. But they don’t vote Dem. Even in Europe redistributionist policies are going out of favor if it means disfavored groups get help also

Everyone liked the New Deal because it excluded Black Americans…when that wasn’t possible anymore, they turned against it.

Racism is a constant, hard to explain a big shock with a constant

Your argument seems to suggest that Trump is the consequence of the end of Jim Crow 60 years delayed

Obama won two elections but racism explains Trump?

Yes. It does. Obama was a fluke. Look under the Presidential election and look what was happening at the State and Congressional level. MAGA and Trump are purely driven by racism, xenophobia. Poor people don’t vote MAGA; it’s the car dealers and real estate representatives that stormed the Capitol

Obama was a fluke? But Trump isn’t? I’m not saying racism isn’t relevant, just that it isn’t the variable that changes to cause the end of democracy in the US. The end of the middle class (yes, the white middle class!) is the trigger that turns ‘democratic’ racism into actively backing dictatorship.

Basically since 1964 only very very harsh economic conditions have moved a sliver of white voters in D column just enough to win some elections, for 1 cycle only. It has eroded over time. And Latinos now thought they were white. And are learning they’re not.

Yes, it is. It also the consequences of failure of Reconstruction.

Better scholars than l have written about this. I agree with that understanding because it is the best explanation for what l see around me.

The Civil Rights Act in 1964 is the turning point/ that’s when US became a democracy. For a little while. That’s when white voters stopped voting Democratic ( the old Dixiecrats became MAGA, basically)

It’s whole “whats wrong with Kansas” thing. People have concerns that aren’t economic. Or Brexit— it’s not the economy it’s ethic rage
