      It was also smart because I do think those white suburban voters that Biden is going after tend to be racist. At least racist in the sense of "I literally think black people rioting in my suburban enclave is the scariest possible thing that could ever happen and I love licking pig boot because they keep the black people 'in their place'". Trump is dogwhistling to them hardcore and I think he'll get a ton of them, even if I think he still loses.

          we are noticing our relatives becoming more openly racist since all the riots.

          There's a post in my history where I cite a study that shows when white people are confronted with the fact that they will be a minority in a couple decades, they react by getting more conservative. I feel pretty confident this is true and applies to other areas of white supremacy i.e. blacks folks demanding justice and equality.
