TBH, I don't think it's as small a minority of white America as you imply.


But I also don't think it's that personal. I think a LOT of white America is scared shitless of becoming a minority and much of the GOP's current "message" around perceived decline, immigration, voter fraud, etc. is built around that narrative. That really is what "Make America Great Again" is about -- restoring the old order where white men were in charge and everyone else (including women) knew their place.

IMHO, Obama getting not just elected, but re-elected showed very clearly that America is changing and has changed and that freaked a lot of people out, leading them to scurry to the next tinpot dictator who promised to protect them from these forces of change (Trump). Trump build a campaign around those sentiments for a reason -- not because he believes them, but because he knows how to play dumb assed Americans for fools as well as anyone.
