Biden admin was leaps better than this crap we have but he didn't assuage white fragility - that's the republican brand.

Generally speaking, it's better to not assume that everyone with political views opposing yours has them out of racism, or whatever other personal defects you might imagine. In reality, the nonwhite vote share for Trump went up for almost every group in 2024 vs. 2016. "White fragility" was probably not their top concern.

  Much of what people say has always been strange about politics. It doesn't seem to be rooted in fact so much as in wanting to dunk on someone. I remember when Roe v Wade was being overthrown and people would talk about how this was how "Men try to control Women's bodies" or something like that. The reality around that time was that the gender differences were a few percentage points[0]. Since then a gender gap has widened[1] but notably among Republicans. Voters for the Democratic party barely differ on abortion attitudes based on gender. 0: http://pewresearch.org/religion/2022/05/06/americas-abortion-quandary/ http://pewresearch.org/religion/2022/05/06/americas-abortion... 1: https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2026/03/12/do-abortion-attitudes-differ-by-gender/ https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2026/03/12/do-abortion-...

  i never said everyone with opposing political views has them out of racism, i'm saying it just plays well. Way too many of the white voting share went to the eating cats and dog racism that we saw play out. Cuz it works. That is america.

Trump lost white vote share from 2020 to 2024. His entire change in margin came from non-whites: https://data.blueroseresearch.org/hubfs/2024%20Blue%20Rose%20Research%20Retrospective.pdf https://data.blueroseresearch.org/hubfs/2024%20Blue%20Rose%2.... See page 4. That’s frankly remarkable given that people say things like “white fragility” openly. I can’t fathom why white people would want to belong to a party that normalizes that.
