Centuries of oppression, racism, disenfranchisement and extrajudicial killings by police causing riots versus seditious white grievance LARPers following orders from the President of the United States to interrupt the transfer of power... wow

I have rarely seen that summed up so neatly. The two things are not the same, the constant equivocation is depressing.
The problem with this argument is that plenty of white communities in the US have suffered from deep generational poverty and exploitation too. Take a drive though an old Kentucky mining town or poor white communities in Alabama and Georgia. Ask these people if they’re larping and why they support Trump. Dismissing them as “Grievance larpers” is utterly counterproductive.
