Good on Laura for telling it as she sees it.
She, and the neo-fascist Trump alt right, are terrified of the gone with the wind 1950s forever obliterated.
One word for Laura: tough.

I actually don't think Trump is racist - and have not said that here, btw.
I think he has a great gift for seeing what his base voters are about, and what they want to hear- he definitely plays to the racist/xenophobic elements of his base, and has from the start. He is a classic demagogue.
And Laura just articulated that better than anyone has. If it quacks like a duck, chances are it's a duck.

We know many white people weren't originally considered white when they came to America. Could that be the same with some Hispanics in the next few decades? Could (some of) today's Hispanics because considered just white in the future?
We all come from different backgrounds and experiences. For me I have no idea what Ingram is complaining about as I grew up in a very diverse City. So I never lived in some suburban/rural all white area. It's hard for me to relate to her fears
Wrong; Trump has a great gift for understanding what it is a majority of Americans want and need; good jobs, more opportunity, law and order and preventing hoards, many who are criminals, from crossing our borders illegally.
YOU, and the left, still don't get it and probably never will.
I am amused that you think you know what Laura was articulating. Based on the race hustling buffoonery I am seeing on this thread, it is obvious that no one on the left gets it. Perhaps if you dunces were uneducated rednecks living in flyover country you could comprehend better?

It's fun to watch clowns post to people they know have them on ignore. It frustrates them to no end and makes the sputter and wheeze.
Nothing like the sweet, fetid stench of desperation for attention from trained monkeys who obediently do the little monkey-dances they've been taught.
Dance, monkey!! Dance!
Take the politics out of it. From a racial perspective it's true. Grinds argument has always been Hispanics will be considered white in the future and vote republican. I don't know one way or the other or really care but based on Ingrams comments it seems worthy of discussion
sorry old buddy. it's all about the politics. Nobody in the real world cares about what "color" Hispanics are or not.
It's navel gazing at best and destructive PC laden hate at worst.
i personally refuse to play this separatism - there are too many really important factor to vote on besides ID politics
Bottom line the bitter crackas cannot stop the demographic shift and that is driving them and Ingram crazy

I didn't characterize all those that voted for Trump are racists, many were "anybody but Hillary" voters, rather that Trump and Ingram are appealing to those in the base that confused and uncomfortable of what they see around them, they provide the easy answer, it's those people
Without identity politics Trump would be nowhere.
What does MAGA mean? By almost any measure, America is by far the greatest nation on earth. It never stopped being great. What does it mean to make it great again?
It's about fear of change, especially demographic change, and MAGA is supposed to make it all right. But America has been through this sort of change before, more than once, and survived.
