"Trump ran on the pretense that to be born in America is to be a victim, that you’re a sucker, that there are these powerful forces out there that are taking advantage of you. It’s a complete reversal of “to be born in the Reagan era was to win life’s lottery—you’re the luckiest person in the world. You’re an American.” For Trump, you’re a chump. And [he’s] going to go out and even the score for you, buddy. It’s a weaponization of white grievance."

Huh. This pretty much sums up why my dad votes Conservative here in Canada. Wealthy white guy near retirement who’s constantly concerned about immigrants getting amnesty and our finance minister being a socialist who wants to raid his retirement fund and give it to the poor and immigrants so they can come here to live a cushy life.
