Brutally honest insights. This misperception could all too easily result in the loss of our democracy (which is already slipping away).
The idea of white innocence also clouds Democratic elites’ perspective on Republican elites: Since they cannot possibly be animated by reactionary white nationalism, they must be motivated by more benign forces, fear of the Trumpian base perhaps, or maybe they are being seduced by the dangerous demagogue.

Adam Serwer made a similar point in The Atlantic after Trump's election (reprinted in his book The Cruelty is the Point)

The argument for the innocence of Trump’s backers finds purchase across ideological lines: white Democrats looking for votes from working-class whites, white Republicans who want to tar Democrats as elitists, white leftists who fear that identity politics stifles working-class solidarity, and white Trumpists seeking to weaponize white grievances. But the impetus here is not just ideological, but personal and commercial. No one wants to think of his family, friends, lovers, or colleagues as racist. And no one wants to alienate potential subscribers, listeners, viewers, or fans, either.

Butt-centric erotica master Chuck Tingle buys GovernorAbbott.com to troll buttheaded Texan hatemonger
On Wednesday, Texas governor/lifelong scumbag Greg Abbott directed state authorities to begin a cruel campaign aimed at making the lives of trans children incredibly difficult. Abbott’s letter classifies gender-affirming medical care as “child abuse” and states that parents, professionals (like teachers, doctors, and nurses), and “members of the general public” who don’t “report such child abuse” could be criminally penalized.

Sometime between now and then, the world’s most prolific butt-focused erotica author, Chuck Tingle, decided to buy “GovernorAbbott.com” in response and use the previously unclaimed URL to both troll the sentient pustule Abbott and direct visitors to charities opposed to the inhumanity he’s enacting.
