We keep hearing it over and over again. It started during Trump's 2016 campaign, and it's still the Left's favorite explanation for why Trump won...."White people fear that the country is becoming more and more racially diverse, and they are losing their power. They see Trump as someone who can restore some of their power, if only temporarily".
Wait a second, I thought ALL Republican Presidential nominees were dog whistle racists, going all the way back to bogus claims of Nixon's "Southern strategy", where the phrase "law and order" was interpreted to mean flogging Blacks? So what was Trump saying in his racist dog whistles that were any different from any of the previous racist dog whistlers?
Actually, when Leftists claimed that Trump had no chance in hell of winning, they were not nearly as confident as they tried to convince themselves they were. They could see that Trump was a political phenomenon. They saw the enthusiasm during the GOP primaries. And they knew that the Obama era had led to huge Democrat losses across the board. The prospect of Obama's Presidency being followed by the likes of Trump wasn't just something that disgusted them. It terrified them, because they knew in their hearts that it could very well happen. And that's when they started with this whole "Whites fear losing power" meme.
But the Left were actually projecting their own fear of losing power on to Trump voters. I'm referring, specifically, to the Elder Statesmen of the Left. The people who came out of the Hippie movement, who are now in their 60's and 70's. This was the spoiled, affluent generation that thought that they were going to "change the world", because all that freedom, prosperity, and technology made them restless and bored.
These ever aging Hippies have spent the past 50 years taking over our cultural institutions and indoctrinating successive generations of children into their ideology. Obama was their dream candidate. He had to be younger than them. An older Hippie would have too much of a radical past, like Bill Ayers. They needed someone who could appeal to all the kids they've been brainwashing for the past several decades. Getting Obama elected would be the Hippie's crowning achievement. Obama would be Joshua to the Hippie's Moses. He would lead the young Snowflakes into the promised land of Socialism, after leading the Boomers out of Egypt.
But if Trump got elected after all the years they worked towards getting the likes of Obama elected, then the Hippies would have to face the reality that they might die before successfully changing the world to their liking. Sure, they've trained younger Leftists to carry on their work. But THEY were supposed to be the ones to change the world in their lifetimes. And in the Trump phenomenon, they rightly saw the ghosts of the old Hippie hating, hard hat wearing construction workers materializing once again in the Winter of their years.
Their fear is based on the knowledge that the last brainwashed generation to enter the workforce suffered mightily under Obama. And if Trump's pugilistic Populism takes hold, and transforms the GOP into a party of un-PC fighters, these twenty and early thirtysomethings might respond positively to Trump's policies and a new kind of GOP.
The prospect of these young adults becoming more Conservative, due to them getting their first small taste of the kind of prosperity that was taken for granted when these old Hippies were kids, frightens them. Can they trust the GenX and GenY Leftists to herd these Millennials back to the Hope & Change ranch when they are in the old folks home? Will the GenX and GenY Leftists be able to have the same success brainwashing future generations of kids as they did? They are worried that time is running out on their mission and birth right, and they are projecting their own fears onto Trump supporters.
Leftists love to talk about how in such and such many years, White people will no longer be a majority in the US. But all the old Hippies will be dead long before that happens. Obama was their last chance and they know it, and now the tide is turning against them. As PC obsessed as our culture has become, that could change on a dime. Especially when the Hippie ringleaders are gone.
Their worst nightmare is a harmonious, racially diverse country, where prejudice is a non issue, and people are focused on other, much more important things.....just as they are being put out to pasture.
Middle aged white males are the left’s boogie man that goes bump in the night under their beds while they sleep.
Leftists ain’t right in the head. This is settled science and a proven fact time after time.
They have also taken a hard fascist left into communism. “They is what they is”.
At some point they will have to be dealt with in a very physical way. They have no idea how lucky they are that we on the right are so patient and law abiding as opposed to them but everyone has a breaking point. They are doing their best to push us to ours.
I know way too many Gen X men and women who have bought the Left’s bull shine hook line and sinker. I’m embarrassed at how many of them there are.

“White people fear that the country is becoming more and more racially diverse, and they are losing their power.”
Yeah, and explain to me why whites should be happy about that? Or why they should promote it??
The last thing I want is to become like the whites in South Africa or Zimbabwe.
Considering the political left tends to be white as snow, it is ironic.
They should talk after watching their pathetic power grab in the form of the Kavanaugh hearings.
Democrats SAY a lot of things. In fact, if you listen to them for a decade or two you realize they will say ANYTHING. By any means necessary. They will blow your life up with a false rape accusation.
Buy stock in helicopters. We are gonna need a bunch. The only other way I see is if women forfeit the Franchise voluntarily to avoid bloodshed.
And the far left are a bunch of bigoted, Caucasian hating racists.
