This is one of those pieces I'll be sitting with for a while. One of their central arguments is that, in the Cold War environment, there was a push to hold the US up as an exemplar. That shift led us away from engaging head-on with the centrality of racial authoritarianism in the US

Much as "polarization" distracts from the real, underlying problems (asymmetric radicalization), the problem "race relations" obscures the reality of systemic racism

I'll add that one of the reasons I'm excited that this piece is near the finish line is that we strive to address these arguments directly: white racism has *always* been present, didn't go away post-1965, and is fundamental to the current anti-democratic moment

We draw heavily on @veslamaeweaver.bsky.social's frontlash theory to draw out the historical continuity.

Really, if you haven't read this piece, you need to stop what you're doing and read it right now:
