America's Problem is That White People Want It to Be a Failed State | by umair haque | in Eudaimonia and Co - Freedium
Can America Solve the Problem of the White American Voter?

Is America really ready to reclaim democracy?
I'm going to share a fact with you — and you're not going to like it.
America's problems can be reduced to the following. White Americans want America to be a failed state — and that is its fundamental, deep, and long standing problem. That is how America ended up here — more than half a century of white hostility to any kind of social progress whatsoever — which resulted in social collapse, and culminated in Trumpism. White people made America a failed state.
I have some bad news, and then I have some worse news. Don't worry, you'll thank me later. The first piece of bad news is this. Here's a fact that most people underestimate. America is still about 80% white. 80%. Given the record-breaking turnout, this election is going to be more about America's white majority than about minorities, probably, at least if every group turns out in record numbers roughly equally. Minorities have much less power than many imagine, precisely because they are still seriously in the…minority. This election is about white America, and if it really wants to live in a democracy — or if it's happier living in a fascist society.
You might think that sounds over the top, so here's the worse news. The chart above says this. It says that white Americans, as a group, have never, as a group, voted for a Democratic President. Never in modern history. In fact, the chart above in fact understates the problem. This trend goes back to JFK and perhaps before. Are you beginning to see the problem here? Why I say "America's problem is that white people want it to be a failed state?"
Let me make it clearer. White Americans can be relied on, in the majority, as a group, to "vote Republican." I put it in quotes because it's worth examining what that anodyne statement really means. Liberal, sane, thoughtful White Americans often overestimate how many of them there are, how widespread their cause is. The result is that when I say "Americans are…" meaning of course the majority, which is still white, I get a wave of protest. Americans aren't dumb! Americans aren't dumb! They're not violent, stupid racists! They want to live in a modern society! Are they, do they — at least the white majority? Let's take a brief and hard look at reality.
Here are some things white Americans have been for, as a group, in their majority. Segregation. Endless war. Inequality. Billionaires. Capital. Guns and religion as primary social values. That is what the voting pattern above means. Conversely, here are some thing white Americans have been against, as a group, in their majority. Desegregation. Civil rights. Womens' rights. Their own healthcare, retirement, and childcare. Public goods of any kind whatsoever. That is what the "voting pattern" above means in the real world. Need I go on? America's problem is that white Americans as a social group, its majority social group, want America to be a failed state. They don't want to live in a modern, civilised democracy, and never have.
White America is America's problem. A big, white, ignorant problem. The problem of the white American voter — that white Americans don't want to admit — goes back more than half a century at this point. If the answer is "Make America Great Again!" then the question is: "well, who brought it this point of self-destruction?" and the answer is….white Americans. They're the ones responsible for the self-destruction of the society they still rule as a massive majority. Nobody else is responsible for their poverty, despair, and humiliation but them. That is what the chart above makes crystal clear.
Who voted, over and over again, to have worse lives? No healthcare, retirement, affordable education, childcare — no public goods of any kind whatsoever? White Americans did. What the? The question baffles the world. Why would anyone choose a worse life? The answer is that white Americans would not accept a society of true equals. "I won't pay for those dirty, filthy peoples' educations, healthcare, retirements! Why, their grandparents were my grandpappy's slaves!" White Americans chose to retain power, supremacy, superiority, even in a failing society. They chose staying on top of decline and ruin, rather than prospering as equals.
