(14,564 posts)Living in a NE state, I know a L O T of white women over the last decade who have really hardened as "conservatives," mostly driven by christianity.
I have always know/seen the libertarian and straight up hard right men, but white women are more open about their STRONG feelings on it now, which fits with the trend this article notes.
To me, this is reflective of the ever increasing domination of culture in our politics, white women coming home to the tribe because more practical aspects of politics and policy are more and more being drown out.
I am all for doing right by the marginalized in this country, and fully support meaningful reform and policy. But, the more the focus and discussion of our politics is culture based, the more we lose, cause we are so diverse it just distracts and spreads us out while it unites the right.
