Fascism Over Democracy: Racist White Voters Make Their Choice
A new study shows that, yes, the right wing really is opening its arms to fascism and, yes, its absolutely because theyre racist assholes:
Political scientists Steven V. Miller of Clemson and Nicholas T. Davis of Texas A&M have released a working paper titled White Outgroup Intolerance and Declining Support for American Democracy. Their study finds a correlation between white Americans intolerance, and support for authoritarian rule.
Translation? Racist white people love democracy when democracy benefits mostly just white people. When democracy starts to benefit everyone else, those same racist white people turn their backs on democracy and run as fast as they can away from it.
--------------------
What were seeing is the frantic attempt of horrible people to destroy American democracy. While they mouth platitudes about freedom and how much they worship the national anthem, they would overthrow our system of government in a heartbeat if they thought they could get away with it. Republicans have already stolen two presidential elections and one Supreme Court seat in just the past 20 years. Theyve rigged elections, gerrymandered entire states, and suppressed the vote on a massive scale all to the thunderous applause of white Republican voters. It wont be much longer until they simple decide to cancel an election they know will cost them control of Congress under the aegis on national security.

Makes a good if scary point - if democracy is not working for them anymore why would they want to keep it and relinquish their hold on power?
