Liberals were right: Racism played a larger role in Trump’s win than income and authoritarianism.

What motivated voters most during the 2016 election is still a highly debated topic. The 2016 American National Election Study, released last week, provides insight into the factors that propelled Donald Trump to victory.

<snip>

The major narrative surrounding November’s historic election focused on voters’ racial attitudes, and for good reason. Trump supporters were relentlessly depicted as racists, and the study confirmed that suspicion.

“Since 1988, we’ve never seen such a clear correspondence between vote choice and racial perceptions,” Thomas Wood wrote in his Washington Post analysis. “The biggest movement was among those who voted for the Democrat, who were far less likely to agree with attitudes coded as more racially biased.”

The Post concluded, “Racial attitudes made a bigger difference in electing Trump than authoritarianism.”

Stanford collaboration releases American National Election Studies 2016 data

The study interviewed respondents in a pre-election survey between Sept. 7 and Nov. 7, 2016. Election Day was Nov. 8. The study re-interviewed most of the same respondents again in a post-election survey between Nov. 9, 2016, and Jan. 8, 2017. The response rate was 50 percent for the face-to-face component and 44 percent for the internet component. The re-interview rate on the post-election survey was 90 percent for the face-to-face and 84 percent for the internet.

Unlike previous years, a major challenge for the 2016 data collection was the country’s increasing levels of polarization and individuals’ reluctance to share their feelings about Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. “The data will tell us the extent to which Trump and Clinton voters inhabit distinct psychological worlds,” said Shanto Iyengar, the project’s co-principal investigator and Stanford professor of political science and of communication.

“Some Americans were much more resistant to participating in the survey,” said Ted Brader, the project’s co-principal investigator and University of Michigan professor of political science. “Many seemed to feel alienated, distrustful and sick of the election. Under these circumstances, we worked hard with our partners at Westat to overcome this reluctance and are pleased to have recruited such a high-quality sample by Election Day.”

Every study of this kind has to "recruit" respondents. What is your point?
 
Oh wow, Salon says "liberals" (justice Dems) are right when they say the only thing that matters to anyone but them is skin color and racial supremacy.

Because everyone except them is a racist white supremacist xenophobic misogynist!!!

The same ol' "Justice democrat" song and dance.

More mindless denial that racism exists, eh, Bot? We can always count on you for that.

Nowhere in there did I ever deny that racism exists.

I laughed at the racist/sexist left for pretending that racism is an inherent trait to white males that aren't socialist.

There is a huge difference you dishonest commie.

Oh, yes, you did -- in such an over-the-top strawmannish way that you can claim implausible deniability, as usual, but that definitely was the message, as usual.

No I didn't, you're absolutely making shit up....

That's why you can't quote where I deny racism exists. :D

Why do you feel the need to lie KO?



You, Salon, and all the other "Justice Democrats" are the fucking bigots.

Grade A, textbook racist and sexist.

LOL

Anything from Stanford trashing white people and everyone right of "Iron Fisted Communist" doesn't need polishing because it's probably made up by some anti-fa/Justice dem dipshit out to demonize everyone not like them.

But mostly just 'fuck white people'......which I REALLY hope you and the (D)'s stick with that message, it's working wonders.

You're right, I forgot, those are already glistening when they're crapped out at Stanford, makes it easier for the blind swine at Salon to find them.:D

Unless they suddenly show an increase for T-Rump. Then polls matter.

Sean McElwee, a policy analyst for Demos and a frequent contributor to Salon, published a statistical analysis last week, based on data collected by the American National Election Studies that demonstrates clearly that racism, rather than economic insecurity, was the primary factor that helped push Trump over the top. This is just the latest in a growing body of research demonstrating that Trump’s racist appeals were what moved his voters. “Economic anxiety” may exist to some degree, but it was not what drove so many white people to vote for Trump last November.

“It is definitely true that racism has been a thread throughout American politics,” McElwee said in a phone interview, “but it’s very clear that with the election of Obama in 2008 and then the campaign of Donald Trump, there’s been an increasing sorting along racial lines in the parties. Trump both benefits from those existing trends and is also accelerating them.”

For people who pay close attention to politics, McElwee argued, it’s been clear for decades that the Democrats are far better than the Republicans on the issue of racial justice. But for the less informed voters, the “election of a black president, the reaction to that and then the Trump campaign” made race and racism more salient as electoral issues than they had been in recent political memory. The result is that people with racist attitudes are rapidly shifting into the Republican voting base, and people with more progressive views on race are flocking to the Democrats.

This, in turn, helps explain the small number of voters who voted for Obama once and maybe even twice but then turned to Trump. They may have perceived Obama initially as a “post-racial” candidate whose color was not important. But after years of racist vitriol aimed at Obama, as well as the increase in racial justice movements like Black Lives Matter, those voters have become more racialized in their thinking and flocked to Trump. The constant complaining from Trump supporters about the pernicious influence of “political correctness” also suggests this reading.

What McElwee did not find was a link between economic stress and Trump voting. He examined this question by looking at people’s answers to questions about their own problems, such as their ability to get a job or pay the bills, instead of generic questions about the economy.

“If you ask them about their views on the economy, as a proxy for economic anxiety, you’re going to get deeply racialized views about how the economy is doing under, say, a President Obama,” McElwee explained.

When voters are asked about the economy, in other words, they may be inclined to be disapproving because they don’t like the man in the White House, not because they have any experiential or empirical reason to believe things are getting worse. This effect, where people’s views on “the economy” are dramatically affected by partisan or racial prejudices, has been independently confirmed through other research.

None of this, McElwee hastened to add, should suggest that Democrats go back to the bad old days when racial justice was de-emphasized and Democrats tried to appeal to white working-class voters by favoring white male candidates with Southern accents rather than embracing racial and gender diversity. The key is not to shun nonwhite candidates like Obama, but ideally to run more of them — and more candidates, of whatever race and gender, who are comfortable speaking about racism as a serious problem that must be overcome.

Liberals are the cause of a large portion of votes based on 'racism' for Trump. Not votes by racists, but votes by non racists who are sick and fucking tired of being told they're racist.
Liberal whining and bullshit like college students looking for 'safe places to express their white guilt' sickened the stomachs of people who aren't racist to go ahead and vote against their 'champion' Clinton.
 
You're marching down the street for what ever reason. And you look to one side and see some neo-Nazi and on the other a Klan supporter. Don't be surprised if you get tarred and feathered with the same brush that is aimed at them.

That really had little to do with it.
