No examination of what might lead a person to become receptive to reactionary right-wing ideology, nope, they're just Bad People because if they weren't Bad People they wouldn't be racist

    i completely agree. although some libs online are now showing their inability to nuance their understanding of Q and the white people who follow it, they put alot of energy over the last 4 years of going into these rural areas, doing think piece and profile and book after book analyzing why these white people are racist and why they voted for trump. it can be argued that their analysis wasnt effective or well meaning but i havent seen similar effort given to understanding the perspective marginalized communities. this past summer when white people read books written by white people as a vanity contest only to encourage their own personal growth rather than to actually look at their own racism, doesnt count
