@mattsheffield@mastodon.social I still pin it on casual racism more than anything else. I live in deep maga country, every selling point I heard revolved around it

@TeflonTrout@beige.party Given that all of these tendencies exist around the world, saying that racism is the root cause seems rather inaccurate. I would also distinguish between enthusiastic and unenthusiastic support. For people who strongly back Trump, racism is a factor for many after Christian supremacism. But there are many Trump supporters who were deceived. The article I linked above shows this among some of his Latino supporters: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/16/us/politics/trump-latino-voters-deportation.html
