Hate to break it to you, we’re still near the top of the heap.
Honestly him getting re-elected is the first time in my life where I felt the absolute gravity of “Oh, THIS is white privilege” like theres no fuckin nuance to this. I’m straight, white and middle aged. If I say the right things I’ll probably be fine, not much is going to change for me.
I cant say the same for a lot of other people.

I know what you mean, but I think lying under racism is classism, and the trumpers are a party to service rich people. I doubt they will take care of their “base”. Did Trump do anything for the impoverished whites last time? I kind of gave up on the news for his entire 4 years. Alothough he did stuff for christian churches I think, which doesnt help white trash males in particular.

He gave them table scraps while feasting with his cronies (remember those COVID checks?).

I mean, you say that, but even straight white guys often have wives and/or daughters.
