    I’m sure that is related but as my friends were “progressive” Democrats we might need to use a wider definition of what it means to be right wing. Plenty of “progressive” white people still have racist hangups.

      Some of them think they aren’t racist when they see the world as a series of tourist attractions and try to flex on their dinner guests by bragging about the authentic exotic experiences they had with authentic foreign people while wandering into tourist traps. maybe-later-honey us-foreign-policy

      Also, people are influenced by the beliefs of their community, even if they don’t agree on everything.
