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.

How is this for a reason? Donald Trump demonstrated that he really loved the USA. It is obvious that he did not run for office because he needed fame or fortune.
This is a very important point. In my opinion, if you want to know who is the most prejudiced in their approach to the world, look at how people declare themselves as a group. Groups that vote overwhelmingly for candidates based upon the candidate's race or their position on race are most likely to be racists themselves.
There are no “Soviets”.
“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. “
So he’s basically saying that a vote for Illary is a rubber stamp for lax immigration, loss of jobs, continuing Islamic terrorism (the new norm) and continuance of PC insanity.
Gee, I wonder why Trump got so many votes **eyeroll*
The author is a putz
Nailed it. I changed my vote the day he came down the escalator and announced. He dared speak about borders and actually having a definable country. Illegals have destroyed our cities in the southwest and our schools and our prisons and our charities. And guess what? We middle class and above whites are not feeling the hurt as bad as our black and Hispanic American brothers and sisters here!
This a hole calling us racist needs to explain to the former business owners who happen to be black and Hispanic why they lost their drywall and plumbing and other construction and repair related businesses. How they couldn’t stay competitive when others were using illegal cheap labor.
Racist. Seriously, the media going with these arguments about white america and trump being racist SHOULD BE IGNORED in 2018. Let’s not get outraged and write about this any more. Just counteract by writing truths to inform the Gullibles, and IGNORE mainstream propaganda.
“Another election surprise: Many Hispanics backed Trump
Alan Gomez, USA TODAY”
Because when white folk look in a dictionary for the word “criminal” there is a picture of Hillary Clinton next to the definition...
Yes! Hillary is a frightening prospect.
“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.”
Me too, and we are keeping it together without the “benefit” of “White Caucuses” in both Houses of Congress. If anything “undoes” this country, it will be non-white minorities. They “long” to come to America, then proceed with every action they take, to turn it into a replica of the $hit holes they came from. We should not be welcoming of people here. We need to place a higher value on being allowed into this country, and we should not subsidize immigrants. They need to come here, as those before them have, and work their asses off to make themselves and this place better for their being allowed to come here.
“...We are not allowed to keep our country...”
Not a matter of being “allowed”. It’s a matter of what we’re willing to do to keep it.
Always has been.
That’s mostly 2 income federal worker families in and around DC.
...adds to the problem, even.
It should not be forgotten that a deliberate and intentional decision was made in 1965 to change the demographics of the USA to make whites a minority. Ted Kennedy and communist democrats abolished the quota system and triggered an invasion.

That plan is still proceeding and is still on track.
The only thing that possibly stops it is:
1- Identifying that this is happening, why, and who started it, and
2- Taking action to stop and reverse it.
This strategy involves naming names and groups and being willing to take everything the communists and globalists throw at us and throw it back harder at them and use all means, including violence if necessary, to prevent their victory.
Trumps decision to stop chain migration and build a wall are great steps and necessary, but the demographic shift must not be allowed to continue.
Keep electing Bush League Republicans and we will not be allowed to keep our country.
They keep telling US that amnesty is the only solution to their perfidy of open borders and too many are not listening.
Claiming racism covers a lot of cultural issues.
Whites voted for Trump because the DemocRATS and media finally started to openly demonize whites and celebrate whites becoming a minority in their own country. They openly stated that things would be better because old white racists that vote Repub were dying off. They belittled the achievements of whites claiming they were due to “white privilege” instead of hard work. The RAT party supported Black lives matter, their anti-white racism and killing of police officers. College professors and leftist radicals began to call for the extinction of white people, which were ignored by the RAT/media complex. People began to recognize the blatantly anti-white nature of the RAT/media complex and finally voted in their own interest.
I never vote for the eventual Republican nominee in the Tennessee Primary, but once the candidate wins the nomination I vote for the Republican Candidate in the General Election. I did so in the 1980 general election when I voted Ronald Reagan, in the 2000 general election for George W. Bush and in the 2016 general election when I voted for Donald Trump.
I have voted for President in 1984 reelection in both the TN primary and general election.
I did the same in 2004 when President Bush 43 ran for reelection. I voted for him in the TN primary and in the 2004 general election.
I plan to do the same God willing, in the 2020 reelection of President Trump in the primary and General election
I believe the 2016 election was very unusual, because I doubt very much that so many voted for the same presidential candidate as the did in the general election.
Now to Hillary Rotten Clinton. It was clear to me that her election was fixed not only by the DNC, the media but also by the committee. Why did she only have 5 rivals? And then only Bernie Sanders, because she chose Jim Webb as he VP. Martin O'Malley, Lawrence Lessig, and Lincoln Chaffee dropped out.
It was because she, the DNC and the media thought she was ought and entitled to the presidency.
Well the electoral College disagreed with her and Donald Trump became the official President elect in early January. He did win the election on November 8th
