"Based on surveys from the United States, the authors found that white people who did not want to have immigrants or people of different races living next door to them were more likely to be supportive of authoritarianism." https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/trump-effect-new-study-connects-white-american-intolerance-support-authoritarianism-ncna877886

"The survey data doesn't show people rejecting American traditions, then, [political scientist Steven] Miller says, so much as it shows 'a preference for the sort of white-ethnocentrism that imbued much of the functional form of democracy for the better part of two centuries.'"

"In other words, when intolerant white people fear democracy may benefit marginalized people, they abandon their commitment to democracy." This is the basic story of US politics at the moment & most journalists refuse to tell it. Good job, @nberlat.
