Why The Die-Hard Trump Support

The support of the Evangelicals has always puzzled me. When Trump got up and said that Joe Biden was only good at kissing President Obama’s ass, I was shocked that there was no reaction. When he cheated on his wife, paid off women, and was caught in the lie, the Evangelicals said nothing. They know what the underlying agenda is. And that my friend is White privilege. They are fighting feverishly to maintain the majority and will never allow this country to be anything other.

Ashley Jardina defines White Identity Politics, in an article in the Atlantic, as the psychological attachment to their racial group that many whites in the United States possess. Whites with a racial identity feel a sense of racial solidarity with their group and see whites as having similar interests. White identity politics refers to the way in which this sense of racial solidarity influences whites’ view of the political world. Generally, what that looks like is whites with a sense of racial identity prefer political candidates and policies that protect their group’s interests. In the U.S., protecting these interests often means attempting to preserve privileges and advantages that whites, on average, have relative to other racial and ethnic groups.
