It's not 'America' coming apart!

Its a schism between Americans who support a multicultural, multiracial, multilingual America that centers fair socioeconomic opportunity for all

& those that want a theocratic Christian evangelical white ethnostate that centers economic elites

@black_intellect The American problem, if one simply goes by election results, is that there are an equal number of Americans on each side of the divide.

@Gordon1956 the even divide is actually among white Americans. Americans of color (and young white Americans) are overwhelmingly supportive (more than 60% in favor) of progressive policies that combat growing economic inequality.

@black_intellect @Gordon1956 exactly right. - the coalition in favor of inclusion has a clear numerical majority and is growing due to demographics among other reasons. That's why we are seeing attacks on democracy, whether violent or legislative. Job #1 for us is to keep the coalition together. Happily the crazy coming from their side is helping with that project!

@black_intellect @Gordon1956 and thank you for making the link between evangelical-white-ethocentrism and the centering of economic elites - that's a formation that might not be as durable as is looks!
