Many white people, not the openly racist, are skeptical of policies that they perceive will benefit "others" more than it benefits them personally. We& #39;ve seen this over and over among the Bernie Bro left (e.g. M4A and student loan cancellation) https://twitter.com/micahanglais/status/1385664517980540928?s=19">https://twitter.com/micahangl...
"if I can& #39;t have it, neither can you". The metaphor describes a pattern of behavior noted in crabs when they are trapped in a bucket.

Good thread on what the study does and doesn& #39;t say. There are such huge limitations to this kind of data that columnists like Chait are quick to ignore in order to generate spicy headlines that fulfill their click quotas https://twitter.com/magi_jay/status/1386040401916801027?s=19">https://twitter.com/magi_jay/...
