Convince the poorest white man he’s better than the wealthiest black man and you have why FNC works and why its viewers can be both POTUS and a poor white.

As I think about it, it seems racism is the core. It all started to fall apart in the 1950s with Truman integrating the military, the enforcement of desegregation of the south in the 1950s. There’s basically four years between the Civil Rights Act and the onset of republican dominance. The US is full of racists which is depressing but not news. I guess we’ll need an economic collapse or we’re in for a long slide into collapse.
