Roughly a month ago, Atlantic senior editor Adam Serwer authored an article that MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell soon hailed as "mandatory reading." Titled 'The Nationalist's Delusion," the piece challenges the popular narrative that Trump's electoral triumph was propelled by the economic estrangement of white working- and middle-class voters. Rejecting this account, Serwer holds pervasive and deep-seated, if implicit, animosity toward non-white minorities as the ultimate fillip of the Trump phenomenon. To borrow from MSNBC's Van Jones, the 2016 election outcome was, in Serwer's telling, just one big case of "whitelash." Concerns over lax immigration policies, the flight of blue-collar jobs, Islamic terrorism (and obscurantism thereof), and an expressively stifling culture of political correctness were all a pretext for the maintenance of white supremacy and racial inequality.
A key data point Serwer draws on to advance this claim is Trump's "sweeping victory" across all income categories of white voters:
Trump defeated Clinton among white voters in every income category, winning by a margin of 57 to 34 among whites making less than $30,000; 56 to 37 among those making between $30,000 and $50,000; 61 to 33 for those making $50,000 to $100,000; 56 to 39 among those making $100,000 to $200,000; 50 to 45 among those making $200,000 to $250,000; and 48 to 43 among those making more than $250,000. In other words, Trump won white voters at every level of class and income. He won workers, he won managers, he won owners, he won robber barons. This is not a working-class coalition; it is a nationalist one.
Incidentally, in a veritable "white male privilege coming out party," neo-conservative writer Max Boot recently credited both Serwer and these figures, more specifically, in helping him finally "see the light" of America's endemic racism and xenophobia.

Diamond & Silk...
Did he cover he 97% of blacks perpetually voting Democrat? Across all income brackets? Across all education levels? Across “all” genders? Across all religions?

>> “The GOPe “not Hillary candidates” all went down in flames.” <<
A notable fact!
They didn’t even win a single state GOP primary, did they?
.
Because Hillary was a terrible candidate and millions of people don’t support open borders and globalism!
We are all brothers and sisters under Gd.
The idiot who wrote this doesn’t understand how the flow of illegals hurts the communities where blacks and American Hispanics are trying hard to achieve the American Dream. There were whole blue collar industries owned by brown skinned entrepreneurs that were undercut and put out of business when illegals offered the work dirt cheap.
Often darker people have had a harder time fleeing parts of a town for better opportunities.
These examples are how illegals have actually hurt minorities worse than whites (really, here whites are the minority, but you know what I mean).
Tired of carrying the weight in this country, and then being blamed for all its problems.
“We are all brothers and sisters under Gd.”
Many of God’s children remove themselves from His grace and make themselves His enemies.
They are not my brothers. They are enemies. This is even clearer in the secular realm, where enemies of the constitution are the enemies of every American.
Black, brown, or white, if you harbor malice for me because I am a white American, you are my enemy.
>>There are no “Soviets”.
Quack, Waddle...

Whatever, Huge.
American? Did I do anything to stop 97% of blacks giving a racial vote to Obama? Did Irish Americans have a right to like the Kennedy? I’m sick of racist “minorities” telling me I’m a racist because I don’t want the USA to become a communist hell hole.
It gives minorities great power gullible whites, and it works well to subdue their opposition. People just shut up and take it as if it were some undeclared, undiscovered,heinous crime to not give in to their own racist demands. It wouldn’t be a significant issue if the old media didn’t incessantly fan the flames.
WW2 victory day parade... So what, loon?
I hope what you object to does come to pass. You have legitimate concerns. Patience may yet have its rewards.
The historical facts are changing, make no mistake about that. The left has taken the reigns to rewrite history. Book burning has offered a south on in the past and as we all know, history is a repetitious art.
business of America is business, why should we want another lawyer to run the country? They’ve done such great jobs in the past? “”
We shouldn’t. Lawyers run most every branch in every government entity from high to low. They make the laws that benefit their own profession. I’ll say it again, lawyers should be restricted to serving only in the judicial branch of government.
A very interesting take. What black male though doesn’t want a blonde for a girlfriend and even a wife? Go figure that one.
When 97% of whites vote for the non-Democrat, no Democrat will ever win another national or state-wide election.
“”
One can only hope you are right and it will happen.
You got the right idea and attitude to go with it.
In fact, to go a step further, the black community by and large does not concern itself with anything outside its own interests. I suppose most cultures are like that. Whites are the only ones foolish enough to put themselves on the line for others who will never return the favor.
Trump won among white women, 53-46
The reason I started voting Republican in the first place is because of white liberals pushing affirmative action and at the same time berating whites for being racist and then gaining power through the process.
