Column: Economic and racial anxiety are two separate forces driving support for Donald Trump
Tampa Bay ^ | March 25, 2016 | Max Ehrenfreund and Scott Clement, Washington Post

Posted on 03/27/2016 5:35:29 PM PDT by Innovative

Among many other topics, respondents were asked whether they were struggling economically — or whether they were comfortable and moving up. They were also asked whether they thought it was more of a problem that African-Americans and Latinos are "losing out because of preferences for whites" or whether whites are "losing out because of preferences for blacks and Hispanics." The survey asked this question in order to gauge the sentiment that racial and ethnic groups don't just feel they are facing difficulties in general, but that those losses are being caused by other group's gains.

A Trump presidency will be good for everyone who wants to work and get ahead -- regardless of color or anything else.

But there’s still that element in society that do not qualify as diligent workers, due to not taking advantage of education, and seeing that its easier to get free stuff, than to go out there, and earn it. Those are the real haters of Trump. Its not fair in their eyes that someone should have all that “earned” wealth and not just give them part of it for doing nothing. Those haters are the ones who are the useful idiots of the political left.

Racists see racism everywhere. It’s the only thing they see.

On election victory night he tells the illegals: “Get the Hell Out!” “You have 10 weeks.” Black unemployment goes down to below that of whites.

No.

Agenda 21 and the overreaching feds, the shutting down of ranches and farms who are being put out of business by the BLM and the EPA. Sending our poultry to China for processing. Eliminating single family zoning all up and down the west coast while planning to add multiple floors to apartment buildings.

Signing a UN treaty that says ownership of land is socially unjust and racist in Vancouver. Overloading predators all over the west with the goal of making ungulate populations critically low enough to stop hunting. And of course refugees and 23 trillion in debt.

Racial anxiety now consists of:

1. Not wanting illegal and criminal aliens in our nation, some of which commit murders, rapes, sexual crimes against children, burglaries, robberies, assaults, and the list goes on.

2. Not wanting to take a risk on a group known to have violent mass murderers in their midst.

This has absolutely NOTHING to do with race.

We would object to these things no matter what color, gender, or sexual preference these people are/have.

Yes. MAGA can be Want to Work, too?

With all the companies who have left or are leaving, we’re becoming a gallery of the past.

Having studied the breakup of several empires in detail, the bleeding of territory, industry and jobs looks like just the same thing. The very same. In 50 years, we’ll be goners. I think we all know this.

Read Ibn Khaldun’s “The Muqaddimah,” if you’re interested.

The elites are so ELITE they can't imagine that the ‘masses’ are worried about the job competition.

Americans need jobs. Close the border.

Obama is the one who has exacerbated racial anxiety, for pity’s sake.

Not Trump, nor his supporters.

I get racial anxiety every time my wife eyeballs the remote control. I just know she’s going to flip on a Spanish soap opera.

Sargon of Akkad’s video recently showed video of two blacks on a debate team talking about how white privilege was so bad, whites needed to die. The white guy said what if I just dedicated all to the cause of justice, and others said put your body on the line and die for it, because nothing else was good enough.
Elsewhere in the presentation was a white teacher talking about how whites can’t be divorced from power and slave owning (ignoring, Cherokees had black slaves, blacks had black slaves, etc) so they couldn’t ever make up for it and had to be downgraded or eliminated.

And then the left wonders why a government that not only sponsors racial preferences over the demographic majority, demonizes that same population and doesn’t consider calling for their elimination racist while opposing views of anyone else of another color gets you called racist ... would somehow result in the guy willing to tell truth to power gaining a lot of support.

When you call people racist for saying let’s treat everyone equally or enforce the law neutrally, while simultaneously having black lives matter protestors threatening people who don’t virtue signal and mock those who flee in fear, yes, someone like Trump will be able to capitalize on the emotions building.

And if that’s fascism, it is only a response to the liberals online mobbing people and physically assaulting them when not name calling them FIRST.

So only white males are concerned about the Left’s idiocy and National Security? Sounds about right as a whole. At least if polls on such matters are accurate.

It is clear the Left would be at most 1/3 of the vote without women’s votes.

The polls which show Trump is not liked by women don’t tell you that those are the ones firmly in the Democrat Party anyway. So he loses NOTHING there.

Quigley’s “The Evolution of Civilizations” examines in detail how the historical rise and fall of civilizations occur. We are now in Western Civilization’s Imperialist War phase. Whereas most civilizations are destroyed by invasions from the North that is no longer true.
