I was reading an opinion by David French on NRO (wait, this will not be bad trust me) and he brought up these interesting stats:David French, National Review posted:A Voter Study Group survey of Trump voters showed that the less churchgoing they were, the more likely they were to say that being white was “very important” to their identity. Similarly, fewer than half of non-churchgoing Trump voters had “warm feelings” for black people. For churchgoing Trump voters, the figure was a far more healthy 71 percent. Article link.

LookingGodIntheEye posted:I was reading an opinion by David French on NRO (wait, this will not be bad trust me) and he brought up these interesting stats: Yep. The decline in identification with Christianity means that people are openly identifying with their race. That said, there are a lot of terrible Christians out there who are also white supremacists. They just felt the need to cloak it before. Now they don't. Christianity, for all of its faults, is an identity that people can plug into. However, so is racial supremacy. And both identities can be bolted on pretty easily with very little buy in other than "say you accept Jesus" or "be white and hate nonwhite people". Lots of questions that were once seen as settled are now being openly raised again. Fascism is one of them. Is there a God is another.

A lot of the proto alt-right came out of the atheism and 'skeptic' circles. Late capitalist alienation and a crushing lack of opportunity just provides the spark that lights up the dumpster fire of modern white supremacy.

What the gently caress is wrong with you? Forget obama, the centerpoint of clinton's immigration policy was making virtually any crime eligible for deportation (while before it was limited to felonies that resulted in more than 5 years imprisonment). What you ended up in obama's america were pillars of the community who got pinched on drug charges or shoplifting as teenagers getting lined up for deportation to SE Asia. These people had lived in the US their entire lives and were going to get deported back to Cambodia where they had no family, no language skills, and no future because the Democrats needed to be tough on immigration.

Yeah that is exactly my point. A lot of liberals have no idea that the democrats have gone above and beyond to persecute immigrants in a bid to chase the mythical white suburban voter. You might have heard of how trump wants to stop issuing green cards to legal residents who might use ACA subsidies, student loans, or other programs. What the news doesn't report was that the clinton administration took the 1930s definition of public charge and expanded it then to include cash welfare in the form of AFDC or TANF, trump is just using the clinton-era precedent to expand it to cover every possible thing under the sun.
