I think racism is a main reason Trump won

This doesn’t get discussed much. Trump voters aren’t going to tell pollsters they are bigots. I think what’s happening is that white Christians know that they will be the minority in a few decades and they worry that minorities will treat them as badly as they have treated minorities for 400 years. (I think minorities won’t do that.

“In the 1990s, when one of his advisers mentioned a news item projecting that nonwhite people could become the majority in the United States, Mr. Trump shot back that there would be a revolution should that happen. “This isn’t going to become South Africa,’” http://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/14/u…
