I believe any honest person can admit there is more than just a grain of truth to this. A YouTube of any Trump rally, or even the most cursory review of the body of work of rightwing message board posters bears this out.
White American men have been the most privileged subset of human beings in the history of the planet -- and for some of them accustomed to that bubble of comfort, I can them being dismayed at the thought of sharing the fruits of their privilege. They will cling to it like grim death!
I think it is mostly mediocre, and inferior white men who most panicked about a cultural shift - because mediocre and inferior white men have the most to lose by being stripped of their privilege. A true meritocracy in America almost certainly dismays and terrifies a mediocre Trump supporter. Depends adult undergarments might even get soiled!
SOme very good points.......
Sadly many are simply oblivious to what was handed to them, the help they received etc......
