This is sort of the incredible thing: white Americans really think America sucks right now, but financial data shows us white Americans have never had it better! The resentment is social! Lots of us don't want nonwhite Americans to have it better!
Historians of this era will spend a lot of time studying social resentment, especially in older folks, and how it's played such a central role in politics.
Another thing: I'm a white guy and I'm so sick and tired of how chickenshit so many white people are – particularly old white people. Just abject cowards who are terrified of anyone who isn't white and/or as rich as they are. Completely gutless and proud of it.
