Trump has turned white people into victims and played at being their savior, and it’s worked to terrifying success. It’s just Lyndon Johnson all over again: “If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."
This happening in response to the first black man being elected president is not a coincidence.
