Trump and racism: What do the data say?
Vanessa Williamson and Isabella Gelfand
Brookings Institution, August 14, 2019
Excerpt...
First, Donald Trumps support in the 2016 campaign was clearly driven by racism, sexism, and xenophobia. While some observers have explained Trumps success as a result of economic anxiety, the data demonstrate that anti-immigrant sentiment, racism, and sexism are much more strongly related to support for Trump. Trumps much-discussed vote advantage with non-college-educated whites is misleading; when accounting for racism and sexism, the education gap among whites in the 2016 election returns to the typical levels of previous elections since 2000. Trump did not do especially well with non-college-educated whites, compared to other Republicans. He did especially well with white people who express sexist views about women and who deny racism exists.
Even more alarmingly, there is a clear correlation between Trump campaign events and incidents of prejudiced violence. FBI data show that since Trumps election there has been an anomalous spike in hate crimes concentrated in counties where Trump won by larger margins. It was the second-largest uptick in hate crimes in the 25 years for which data are available, second only to the spike after September 11, 2001. Though hate crimes are typically most frequent in the summer, in 2016 they peaked in the fourth quarter (October-December). This new, higher rate of hate crimes continued throughout 2017.

From the Moscow Project:
Excerpt...
A total of 272 contacts between Trumps team and Russia-linked operatives have been identified, including at least 38 meetings. And we know that at least 33 high-ranking campaign officials and Trump advisers were aware of contacts with Russia-linked operatives during the campaign and transition, including Trump himself. None of these contacts were ever reported to the proper authorities. Instead, the Trump team tried to cover up every single one of them.

Those who can pay attention during a pandemic are few. The fact they can RESIST and create a powerful message or bring up the unspeakable BLOTUS shows just whats at stake.

(297,172 posts)Thank you, Kid Berwyn, for this article.. and "BLOTUS" is even more descriptive than I thought.
BLOTUS does make his priorities clear.. who he works for and that he doesn't really care about the American People or anyone else, except what putin thinks.. just his own stuffed self.
