    Jeet Heer Retweeted Daniel Seidemann

    I think this tweet is on to something. More broadly, people from religious or racial minorities are over-represented in the Never Trump movement.https://twitter.com/DanielSeidemann/status/1225149894979092480 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Daniel Seidemann @DanielSeidemann
    I’m really scared to post this, but... (I may be full of shit, but no offense intended). Perhaps that the two who found the courage to stand up to Trump have been schooled in adversity by being members of vulnerable groups, Mormon and Palestinian-American, is no coincidence.

        And John McCain was... In this case, I think it has to do more with his being a previous general election nominee, who is the leader of the party so to speak.

        I didn't come up with this but Trumpism is a völkisch movement, it's not crazy that the Republicans least into it are those who aren't part of the volk

        well, to be frank, most of that is due to overrepresentation of one religious minority in particular

        Timothy Snyder makes a related point in Black Earth: religious minorities (Greek Catholics, Ukrainian Baptists) were more likely to shield Jews than were people of majority faiths in a given region—regardless of creed.

        This is the first new thought I've heard on political twitter in quite a while. And it might be right.

        Interesting, but Mormons haven't been persecuted in the US for most, if not all, of Mitt Romney's life.
