Scott, when we look at the changing demographics of America and the warping of standards accompanying it, one thing I’m curious about is the possibility of assimilation into right wing values. I think that is something that we should really strive to focus on in addition to immigration restriction because most Americans probably don’t see some of these groups like Hispanics and East Asians as really outsiders and would maybe be turned off by some nativist rhetoric. How can we go about assimilating permanent new groups into right wing values?
Was there a specific time/event that you can point to where right wing pundits decisively shifted in favor of praising the down scale nature of working class whites? Which pundits are the worst offenders in this regard?
Fantastic. Someone needed to set the record straight.
