While White People Are NOT a Minority in the USA,

[MineralMan]

They only make up about 55-6% of the population nationwide, though. In some states, they are a distinct minority, though. For Christian Nationalists, that is beyond frightening, so they're desperate to avoid a US non-white majority. They're panicked, to put it mildly.

And that's at the core of much of what is going on in the MAGA world. They want to Make America White Again, really: MAWA. They don't say that, exactly, but that's exactly their goal.

They will not succeed in achieving that goal, however. The die is cast. Before long, what they fear will become reality. It's inevitable. See this link to learn more about the distribution of white majorities in US states. Compare those states with the states that are considered to be Red. You'll see the connection.

The push toward eliminating birthright citizenship is about this and only about this.

1. 100% agree - that is the reality of MAGA. In 1950, when I was born, whites made up 90% of the population.

2. The small California town I grew up in in the 50s and 60s

was over 30% Hispanic. In 2026, it's 86% Hispanic.

California, I think, was the first state to tip to a non-white majority. i could be wrong. It could be Texas or Arizona.

3. They are afraid that if they were in the minority, they would be treated the way they treat minorities.

That’s their mortal fear. Totally unjustified, but they are irrational

[MineralMan]

4. Exactly. That's Why Texas Is Trying to Disenfranchise Hispanic

voter. Desperately. Same with Georgia and Alabama with black voters.

[Walleye]

5. I am a baby boomer white woman, and I totally resent this whole thing

Try campaigning on your accomplishments instead of whom you hate, Maga. Oh yeah, can’t. I always feel very uncomfortable when I’m in a large crowd and it’s only white people. I grew up in Delaware, where anybody who wanted to be a Delawarean was welcome

[yardwork]

10. This boomer white woman feels the same.

But we're different from white supremacists. We aren't driven by fear. We aren't driven by greed. We don't view other people as competitors.

You and I and the white people like us realize that when everybody is better off, we're better off too. We realize that a healthy and happy world is a safer world. We realize that people are fundamentally the same, that racial stereotypes are wrong, and that diverse communities are strong communities.

We're up against people who have allowed their emotions and vices to rule their behavior and thinking. Unfortunately a bunch of them are billionaires now and they've bought the politicians and the news media and the social networking platforms.

12. And that is the same reason so many men are against women's rights.

6. The immigration policies of the Trump regime, concocted mostly by Temu Goebbels,

a/k/a Stephen Miller, are based entirely on notions of white nationalism, which is the next step after white supremacy. White supremacists believe white people are superior to non-white people in all respects and should be in charge of everything. Non-white people are tolerated as long as they "know their place" and don't get too uppity, but they shouldn't expect any of that woke DEI stuff that might help them improve their lot in society. White nationalists go further - they want to eliminate non-white people from the US altogether, which perfectly explains Miller's deportation quotas. Those quotas could not be met by deporting only the dangerous criminals because there weren't enough of them. So they just started rounding up anybody who wasn't white, abducting them from bus stops and workplaces regardless of their immigration status, and taking them into ICE custody - something we saw first-hand here in Minneapolis this winter (and it's still going on in the suburbs and smaller cities). Anyone who looked "foreign" - that is, Hispanic or Asian or Somali - was and is a target. Tiny Nazi Greg Bovino announced that the goal is to deport 100 million people, almost a third of the total population, and a number that accounts for almost all of the non-white immigrants plus a fair number of citizens. It's ethnic cleansing with the intent of creating a 100% white society, or at least an apartheid society. Eliminating birthright citizenship is definitely part of the plan.

7. Some political scientists think that this fear is behind the global shift toward fascism.

Over the past 100 years there has been a great increase in global health and wellbeing. A lot of this is due to vaccines. And medical research. And humanitarian public health efforts.

As a result, many Black and brown people across the world are doing ok. Their standard of living is better. They send their children to schools and those children become doctors and engineers and scientists and business people. A global middle class is rising up all over the world.

The world's wealth and privilege is no longer exclusively in the hands of white elites in Europe and America.

And that is freaking out some of the white elites.

It's no accident that the billionaires who put Trump in power immediately went after vaccines, medical research, and USAID.

[MineralMan]

9. I think that is exactly correct.

It makes people very dangerous, that sort of fear.

[yardwork]

14. Especially when they have billions of dollars to spend

[leftstreet]

22. +1

[multigraincracker]

8. I'm a shade of pinkness gray.

Close your eyes and there only one race, the human race.

[MineralMan]

11. Yes, of course.

That's how things really are. That frightens some people, though, and then they get angry and dangerous.

[3catwoman3]

23. When filling out paper forms at doctors' offices, etc, was still...

...how things were done, whenever I got to the race question, I'd go to the "other" box and write in "HUMAN." I don't know if anyone ever noticed, but it was a tiny rebellion that felt good.

[multigraincracker]

25. I do the same.

[Marcuse]

13. History doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme.

[yardwork]

15. That fear never went away.

It's behind all of this... waves hands.

[MineralMan]

17. Same Old Story, Isn't It?

[ananda]

16. This is worth repeating a million times a day!

The main driver of all Republicans is fear
of losing white supremacy.

They'll tolerate anything as long as that
is their candidate's policy.

[MineralMan]

19. Exactly.

[SamuelAdams]

18. Absolutely correct.

The white population is older and not having many kids. Whites are already a minority among younger Americans. It's the same reason they cling so hard to the confederacy. They are desperate to go back to the past when whites ran everything and being racist was fine.

[MineralMan]

20. It's a Hopeless Expectation, Though.

They will lose, inevitably. Not soon enough, I fear, but inevitably.

[Joinfortmill]

21. Such idiots. I guess they think everyone is an ass like them

[leftstreet]

24. DURec

[FakeNoose]

26. Native Americans would like a word ....

We always seem to forget that Native American tribes were here at least 2,000 years before any "white" European visitors showed up.

[MineralMan]

30. Sadly, yes.

Theirs is the story of every indigenous people wherever the European white folks came and took over.

Globally.

[Cheezoholic]

27. This is why they want to burn the Constitution and tear down the government as it is

Our Constitution has been fading in color from white literally and figuratively especially over the last 150 years. As we progress IT is giving voice to ALL people more and more. Sure its still skewed white male landowner IMO but the very nature of its core is what empowers ALL people in this country no matter what. Whitey hates that shit and wants it gone.

[3catwoman3]

28. I was thrilled by the election of Barack Obama, for many reasons, and thought...

...naively as it turned out, that it was a sign the US was growing up, attitudinally.

How wrong I was.

[BlueTsunami2018]

29. I don't know that the rulers give a shit who is here to exploit.

But they definitely want this division among the workers because it keeps them in power. That’s all they care about, keeping us divided about stupid shit so we never get together and take them down. That’s what it’s always been about and will always be about until people finally figure it out.

And once the racial makeup changes, whenever that may be, they’ll find something else to keep the working class divided.
