White people need to talk to other white people.

This is not on African American or Hispanics.

In our polling with YouGov, since the start of his second term Donald Trump's net approval has fallen 17pts among white Americans (+17 to -1), 28pts among Hispanic Americans (-9 to -37) and 38pts among black Americans (-36 to -74)

1. Totally Agree

I have said this several months ago with no response from the DU audience. The problem with this country is white people not facing the reality that they are being bamboozled by rich white people who have convinced them all their lives, that they are a superior race and that everyone other then them are taking something from them or the cause of their misery and pain.

It seems as if the only thing that may convince white people that minorities are not their enemy is a deep dive into poverty. Once the lack of SNAP benefits hit them because white people receive 40 % of those services maybe w=they will wake up and stop trusting in their whiteness and realize that we are all in this together.

I like to quote Lyndon Johnson:

“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.”

― Lyndon B. Johnson

2. Not my idea. I read about it somewhere.

6. It is a waste, that is the hard core base. They

don't beleive anything unless they hear it on Fox.

3. No thanks

I moved away from those people for a reason.

4. My right wing white magaloon brother in law is still strong in the cult and I don't think he will change his mind

I’m a light skinned woman of African American ancestry that could pass. He never knew what I was until he met my sister who is a shade darker and the guy will barely interact with me when he sees me now. Most of those magaloons are bigots.

I always get the squint in the eye from bigots trying to figure out my race.

5. That makes as little sense as saying that men should talk to other men to change thier behavior

Nope. All the other men I know and talk to, and in general all the other white people I know and talk to, have the same politics and social attitudes as me. I have no wish to go outside that circle, and it probably wouldn't do any good if I did.

7. Certainty, ferocity and solidarity is why you can't reach white trump supporters/extremists.

Why Fundamentalists Love Trump
David French

I grew up in a church that most would describe as fundamentalist, and I’ve encountered fundamentalism of every stripe my entire life. And while fundamentalist ideas can often be quite variable and complex, I’ve never encountered a fundamentalist culture that didn’t combine three key traits: certainty, ferocity and solidarity.

Certainty is the key building block…

That certainty breeds ferocity. Indeed, ferocity — not piety — is a principal trait of every truly fundamentalist movement I’ve ever encountered...

Yet certainty and ferocity are nothing without solidarity. It’s the sense of shared purpose and community that makes any form of fundamentalism truly potent…

8. A lot of white people take this to mean "talk to people outside your bubble and convince them they're wrong" when it's

just as if not more useful to have conversations among your friends and family about white supremacy, how you benefit from it, and what you can do to divest from it.

9. For a start let's reduce the number of non white young men

who support Cheato.

That is the no brainer here.

After people get their health insurance increases or cuts then the remainder.
