I don't think its ONLY racism so much as PREDOMINANTLY racism. Further I think that even if subconsciously, racism is an underlying factor to every political decision for Trumpites..

The thing is though, any group that feels under siege is going to lash out stupidly, and look for scapegoats, and do stupid shit, and get all xenophobic.

True but why are they under siege exactly and by whom? Hence racism

Anyway you might be curious about those papers I like re: democrat strategies to regain the working class (Ruy Teixeira et.al.). One of them mentions the limit of appeals to "race" etc. Which actually I agree with--I identify more with an economic class than with my presumed "ethnicity". And where is that in the Democratic Party? Bernie touched it a bit.

Sure but in the American experience socio-economics are fundamentally and integrally connected with race and ethnic identity.

Like I said before and have been saying for the past few years, we are witnessing "the Silent Majority 2.0" which is to say racist backlash against uppity "minorities" who refuse to stay in their place and further the growing resent of white folks realizing they are losing their privilege, which is the same whether in 1968 as much as it feels apt for 2016
