4. Hateful bigots are already a minority, it's just that they now have such a large megaphone

When you are so close to losing your advantages, you will yell, scratch, and claw at anyone or anything to hold on for even one more moment in your "deserved" place.

Much of what we are seeing, IMO, is the death throes of white, christian privilege. They are trying to load up the system with voter id, anti-choice, ant-women, anti-minority, anti-gay, anti-liberal, anti-you name it laws and judges. They hope to make the system so poisoned that by the time progressives can undo the mess, 20/30/50 years will have passed and they will all have finished their lives in their exclusionary bubble.

It's all about themselves, everyone else be damned.
