'There's a racism problem on the American right. Racists want that problem to look like Kanye West and Herschel Walker.' (Opinion)
One of the great fears of white nationalists is that America faces a demographic destiny augured by racists as “replacement theory.” My friend Alan Abramowitz, a social scientist at Emory University in Atlanta, measures racism. According to his survey work, about half of white voters without a college degree – and a third with one – have high measures of racial resentment. That’s 28 percent of the electorate and about 50 percent of Republican primary voters.
That’s why Fuentes spends as much time attacking Republicans as Democrats. He’s worried that the Republican Party will do the politically rational thing and broaden its appeal to nonwhite voters, rather than raise the stakes until a race war breaks out. Elevating political figures like Kanye West and Herschel Walker deliberately short-circuits racial moderation on the right. The candidacies of people like West or Walker aren’t designed to win Black voters. They’re intended toBlack voters for the amusement of racists, the alt-right equivalent of Emperor Caligula sending his horse Incitatus to the senate as consul. It is a signal of their contempt for the political process.
