Keep seeing over and again - our opposition isn't the opposition, it's cynicism. It's not that people don't believe our ideas are right; they don't believe our ideas are possible. The right wing project to make everyone hate and distrust "government" has paid off for them.https://twitter.com/jonfavs/status/1217167653564866560 …

Add to this experiences of violence - rhetorical, conceptual, and physical - from "government" (police, crim justice system, red-lining, voter suppression) and POC have little reason to like or trust it either.

Also, if you are already deeply distrustful of government, hearing someone say they have 1,000 different government "plans for that" for all aspects of their life isn't comforting; it's actually terrifying.

The racial cues provide the emotional hooks for some, but cons have argued this so hard for so long that it works without them too. A common response I've seen from rich white lefties to government spending is not just opposition, but outright, visceral disgust. :(

I don't think it's possible to separate efficacy of racial cues and just general gov't is bad. People don't know why they're responding - no matter what they tell themselves. This too is government - show to your "pals": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jLvlUWZ3Dw …
